Default NoVA: yes. DC: no.
The DC-proper streets are horrible even on my 17" setup. MD's not much better.

You could get away w/ 19" in NoVA for the most part.

From where are you moving?

If you live in the City or will be driving and parking in the city a lot then you need 17s

Default I really do not want to have any incidents because fixing the SLIII's is costly and time consuming
I really do not want to have a headache about it.

I'm going to grad school there and i need to be concerned with my studies.

Default i disagree, i live in dc, have 18" ch's and drive all day everyday round dc and not one issue
except minor curbage on one wheel which has nothing to do with size
