Best wheel/tire size 1992 500SL?

Looking to replace my stock flat style wheels on my 500SL. I am thinking AMG 5 spokes. I would appreciate feedback regarding best size wheel/tire combination. 16, 17, or 18 inch, etc????

Thanks a bunch!

althugh, it is mostly personal opinion here's my take ...

Jut yesterday I had a customer put a set of AMG 5 spoke 129 wheels on a '93 500SL and it looked GREAT !!! He is using 18x8 fronts and 18x9 rears with 245/40-18 front tires and 275/35-18 rear tires.
He called this morning and could not believe how much more entertaining the car was to drive and he also said
"the visual impact of the new wheels has made me fall in love with my car all over again"

sorry I do not have any pics at this time (yhe did promise to send me some as soon as he gets the car cleaned up abit.

Luke,
Can you share with us how much that set up of wheels and tires will cost? I am interested as well, and I have a '95 SL. Thanks.
