Geographic considerations for tire sizes

I believe there are enough people who avoid 17 inch tires in the NYC area due to the pothole factor (I can't speak to any other areas -- does anyone know if the same holds true elsewhere?). I wonder why Saab wouldn't make the 16's more readily 'interchangeable' so as to get higher end sales/leases for folks who are concerned with the durability of the rims. As I said, I went with their lower end cars, maybe not just for that single reason, but it certainly factored in my decision.
Are there any NYers out there who can relate any stories, good or bad, on how their 17 inchers have held up hitting potholes (particularly at higher speeds where avoidance was impossible)?
