They're nice alright, but my 16" don't fill out the wheel arches along the body line. Instead they have a slightly sunken look, giving it a 70's Ford Escort appearance.

Every stunning-looking car I've seen has oversize rims...from 18"-20".

The 18" looks particularly good on the R129 because it balances out the body visually. Standard rims seem a bit small for it.
