You can always do both. 
I can assume your roads suck, right? The HRE's are expensive, so you won't want to be hitting potholes and messing them up. Thankfully Kansas has beautiful roads!

I think 18s are fine, even on broken pavement. I have them as the factory setup on my C55 and they are much more forgiving than I expected. So I've upgraded to 19s and am dropping on H&R. 
I vote for both!
Good luck,

if you're going to get rims, it's either stock, BBS or Fikse or Kenesis (never tried Kenesis but have both BBS and Fikse). All others are overpriced garbage.
when choosing a rim maker, make sure they make every part in house from barrel/drum to the center piece.
my only grip with BBS is they made top of the line rims to your everyday throw away winter rims.
