Skassa,
unless you are packing at over 200 hp and you need bigger wheels to fit monsterous brake kit, 16' will do nothing for you performance-wise. Okay prehaps you will have a bit less tyre-roll, but that can be compensated with hard-wall tyres and correct tyre-pressure. (just look at the Formula 1 - tiny rims, fat tyres). But you loose much in acceleration (more weight far from center of the hub), you loose grip in rough surfaces and road irregularities due to the increased unspring weight.. and lastly for me it just looks strange.
