What is advantage of 19" rim???

Basic question about rims: Is a 19" wheel safer than a 18"? Will the car run faster or handle better on 19" as opposed to an 18? Will I get better gas milage on 19" as opposed to 18"? So other than looks, why buy 19" rims?

Also better handling since most go with wider tires.
