Default Questions about larger wheels... also anyone have a pic of Sportec 18s?

I'm thinking of bumping up to 18's from my stock 17's and I was wondering what the benefits are (if any) to having larger wheels (other than appearance). Will this improve handling? Will the larger wheels decrease the large gap between my tire and body? Obviously Audi designed the car for 17 inch wheels with the stock suspension so I'm worndering if larger wheels will have any negative effects.
I like the Sportec Mono/10 wheels but I have only seen pictures of the 19s on A4/S4's does anyone have pics of 18s?
Thanks!

I love 'em. Currently not on my car, as I'm waiting for some S-03's I ordered to come in. Kumho ecsta 712 225's are too skinny for these wheels, so I sold them to someone and ordered the S-03's.
