Well that is a matter of opinion but I think 16's or 17's look good on them.

RE: Rims

It's also a matter of how rough/comfortable you want your ride to be.

i love my 18s but if you lower your car enjoy rolling your fenders cause its a bitch also the bigger the wheel the slower you go

RE: Rims

I went with 17" and low profile tires (Falken) from oem ones. I'll have to say that the ride isn't as smooth as it used to be and by that I mean going over rough terrain. The car however handles a lot better because now my tires are wider and have better traction. I was told that 17 isnt bad but anything above that can be pretty rough, and if you lower your car too with stiff suspension it may feel like you're riding a golf cart, which is a reason why I havent decided to lower my car.

From my opinion and experience 17" are pretty comfortable even with low profile tires, not a very big difference from the oem ones anyway.

Indeed. I have 17" Exel rims, and Toyo Proxes tires, I could tell a little difference, but its nothing drastic or really too bad. All except my car is about an inch higher off the ground, but thats nothing Ground Control and Koni Yellows won't fix
