Go to www.tirerack.com and enter the vehicle info. Then shop for a package. They'll set you up with a package that fits and you can decide whether or not to buy tires and wheels with those specs from them or elsewhere.

16s look nice and still ride ok. 17s start to ride a bit harsh and look better with a drop. 15s give good ride and are generally cheaper, but you get more sidewall deflection corneringand they don't achieve quite the samelow-profile stance. I'd go with 16s for a good compromise. Save the stock rims for winter tires if you get bad snow.

Tirerack and Discount tire have good selections, but after searching and calling both, I found that the only lightweightwheels at the Rack are $230+ each. Discount Tire has only heavyweights - at least only stuff that's heavier than 14 lbs or so.

You really have to look elsewhere to get lightweight wheels, since the last thing you should do is buy wheels that are heavier than the factory ones. Your ride and acceleration will suffer.

So take a look at this place for some lightweight Rotas that don't cost aywhere near $200 each. Many are available in Royal colors (polished lip).
