Even the justification of handling is getting a bit thin these days. The style of using ever-larger rims & ever-shorter sidewalls isn't a 1-way street to better handling. The penalty in un-sprung weight offsets the small-ish advantage in sidewall stiffness. Somewhere you get an optimum & then going even bigger becomes a disadvantage.
My 9²x came with 17" and I really wonder whether 16" with a careful choice of tires might have been better. (Considering the overall size & weight of the car.)
