[W126 Coupe] Rims

[Eddie]

Up to 18 you get much better handling, over that, you really have to think
about what kind of surface you will be driving on.  On the other hand, you
lose a little bit of the floating feeling on the highway, and tires get much
more expensive.  Acceleration and braking may be affected depending on the
quality of the wheel (mostly where the weight is).

I paid a lot of attention to all the e-mails regarding rims. Especially when
you guys are changing from R15 to 17" or 18" and even larger.

Please explain me what the advantages are.
