Ok, sorry, I forgot about French girls. Yeah, we'll talk about that, too.
I'm not sure you'll get too many takers on this topic, as the 19" are a factory option in the US, unlike here, so most will either know one or the other...

I think I'll just go for it anyway. Then I'll be the expert on the topic

My '07 GL 320 had the standard 18" wheels. My new '08 GL 320 has the 19" wheel package. They look better, but are heavier. My fuel mileage with identical driving is down about 2-3 MPG. Absolutely no discernable difference in handling or ride. I wouldn't go for the 19" again.
