Is upgrading to 16 inch rims worth the expense and trouble?

My 15s are in need of a paint job and was thinking of going to the 16s instead. Is there any appreciable improvement in handling? Is it worth the trouble and expense? Thanks.

I assuming you are referring to the R107 series as the R129 models are already equipped with 16-inch rims.

I'm not sure that you would notice much handling improvement, but I do like the looks!

Why do you want to go to 16-inch rims? I would put 17 or 18 inch rims instead.
