>> 16" cheaper tyres - yes
>> 16" smoother ride - yes
>> 16" look cool - nope

You have to say that bigger are the alloys (and tyres, of course) better is
the handling/stability. I think 17'' it's the best deal, 18'' look great and
the car is *glued* to the road but you loose something in top speed, and
replacing tyres will cost *a lot* much than 17''.
