i would go with either a 15" rim or a 16" rim... will fit the car really well and wont look like it got any taller or changed...

i don't know what the craze for black rims is. on a dark green car silver or bronze would look the best.

I would personally go gunmetal. 97_NW's car looks sick with those wheels.

If you are looking at going fvor 17's i would suggest the Velox VX-6R's, they look GREAT, have a polished lip, plus only weigh 14.5lbs a piece. If you aren't set on 17's though I would personally advise you to go with 16's, they will give you a better ride quality, plus still look good, and are usually lighter weight than 17's.

i have 17's as well and a 1.5 inch drop with the tein s-techs i love it. but when i got the wheels with no lower i didnt like it. it looked jacked up. way too much gap in the wheel well. didnt like it at all. but i think bronze looks really good on green cars. thats what i would go with. just my opinion.
