F54 RIM size...
I would likely stick with bumping up to 17's, so you can keep enough side wall on the tire, since you are concerned with ride quality. I agree that 18's would be a better 'look' on our cars, but you end up with pretty short side walls on an 18" and that will increase the ride shock quite a bit over your current 16's. What will look nice...beauty is in the eye of the beholder/owner. I don't have much aftermarket wheel experience, but my TSW Nurburgring wheels on my 'toy' have held up very well to 10 years of road trips, auto-x and track days w/o any issues. That style would also look good on our cars...if they offer a correct size/offset. TSW has one of the wider ranges of wheels and fitments for reasonable prices. Good luck on your project.
You have to go 18's or 19's as 17's look way too small and the side wall is too high and cornering is too squishy. I have been running some 18 inch Work Wheels and find the ride comfortable. That being said I think I am going to sell those and go up to 19's as I seem to prefer a lower profile sidewall considering my driving style.
