dont be surprised if you get a few dumb answers to that question :doubt:
wheels are something that everyone feels different and each car is different. i for example don't like chrome but admit that on some cars it looks awesome. i like simple wheels cos the give a sporty look but sometimes that doesnt work on a car. its all about what you want. best to have a look at some of the pics that are up in the fourms, try the 'post your ride' topic of the third gen section. there will be plenty of pics in there.
find something that you like, then something else that you like and see if you can find a wheel that has it all.
but basic tips.
1) make sure it sits flush with the guard, make the wheel appear bigger than it is and it looks like it 'fills' the guard better
2) get the right offset. i think its about 36-38 or something (3rd geners help me here!)
3) unless you spend big dollars and get lightweight wheels then they will be heavier and the car will feel a bit more sluggish off the line, but bigger wheels generally means wider too, more grip means more fun in the twists
4) lower the car as well, bigger wheels will make the car look like a 4x4 unless the car is lowered.
5) make sure you get the wheels you want, not what others tell you to get, if they are one and the same then great but modding cars is about doing your own thing, not copping what someone else has done :)
enjoy :cool:

pick about 4 different rims, get some pics and ask some1 to do a photo-chop for you. but the only 100% way you can see which one looks better is to try them on.
edit:these? gun metal grey rims would work really well with your cars color.

best bet is to go down to the local tyre shop (bob janes, tempe and so on) and get them to rip out some catalogues take them outside and put them next to the car, if you find a couple you like see if they have any blanks there that you could put on to see what they look like.

I would say mine, but then I'm biased! It's a really personal thing. I completly agree with asking for a photochop as putting wheels next to your car at a tyreshop doesn't look the same.:D
