Depends on the model, and it depends on what you'd like to do with it.

I would go with strut braces. They are fairly inexpensive and will help with the handling. I would also consider a full coilover suspension system. It should give you a lot better handling and will allow you to lower the car, but it isn't gonna be cheap.

go with the 17's. gunmetal or silver rims will look good. dont get a crappy suspension because it will ride horrible. you get what you pay for. tokico illumnas with h&r springs is a good setup or you could go more with coilovers ( tein basic ), or just go with lowering springs. depending on what your budget is and what you want.
