Spinedoc,

I see you've got what appears to be 16" rims on your silver 500, and 18" on your new one.

Have you noticed a big difference in the ride and handling?

Reason I ask, is because I think the 18" make the R129 look very sharp, but my MB shop (no vested interest) warned me off them, saying I'll get a harsh ride. They recommend 17" max.

What's your take on this?
