Most go with 19s as a decent blend of style and comfort... 18s are ok as well if you tilt more towards comfort over style.

Are you looking for cast wheels? Forged? Flow formed?

Comfort all the way. I would use 17s if I could..
Whatever would be the strongest rim. As far as cast, forged, or flow...?

If comfort is primary driver, then go 17s. Forged is strongest, but expensive.

Welcome to MBWorld! Check out tire rack for some tire options. Depending on how much you want to spend, HRE makes some great wheels. Good luck with your wheel/tire search and if you need anything else just give me a shout!
