any 16x7 wheel. Really, wheels won't affect your gas mileage or anything, but if that's what you're worried about, look for a lightweight wheel. The lighter the wheel, the less power is needed to turn them. That translates to less fuel being used to turn them. As for not rubbing, look for +40 to +45mm offsets. With a +40mm offest, you still might rub a little, but only if you're slammed, and even then all you need to do is roll the rear fenders.

I don't see why not. I'd check the local craigslist, as well as forum for-sale sections and ebay.
