Personally, I would go with a nice set of 16's in White. I dont have any specific brand name, but I know white would go nice with black. Gunmetal is also good.

Rota circuit 8's look sick on EK coupes. I'd get them in gunmetal or silver.

it only does if you change the circumference of the tyre, so you can get bigger wheels but a lower profile tyre to compensate, there's tyre calculators on google that will tell you how much it will throw it out

To answer your question, if the circumference changes then yes the speedo will change

Something lightweight. Rotas are tough to beat for weight vs cost.
