Hey I like the 17" wheels that came with the CL9 Euro Lux, they look great. 16" is too small though.
The problem is that the larger you go on the rims, the tires get ridiculously expensive. You're looking at $250 a corner on 17", and $450 a corner on 18". And once you go over 18" you have to lower the car, or the car will look strange.
A friend of mine has Continental Sport Contact 18" on his Mondeo XR5, and he's already had three fronts damaged by road debris. Literally, they are around $450 a 'pop'.
I personally don't like the look of huge 20" chrome wagon wheels with rubber band tires (and large rims look especially silly if it hasn't been lowered), and think the car looks 'right' with 17" to 18" on stock height, but it's personal preference, YMMV.

but each to their own. 20" would be all show no go on the Euro.
