Nikon af s dx 18 55mm f 3 5 5 6g vr ii vs nikon 17 55mm f 2 8?

I don't have a page for the Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8, so I can't compare the two properly here. What I can tell you about the AF-S DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II is that it's a stabilised kit zoom for APS-C Nikon bodies, and it's darker than f/2.8 as you zoom in. It also frames like 27-82mm on full frame, which is handy for everyday shooting.

If you're weighing a faster zoom against a kit lens, the Lenses guide explains where each one fits in a first kit. To see how the 18-55mm's framing and depth of field change on other sensors, try the focal length converter.
