Alloy wheels are very much a personal preference and it also depends on what size you're thinking of running on it.  16" wheels are a very good compromise between style,  comfort and handling. Whether the car is lowered is also a huge factor in wheel and tyre selection.

Definitely down to personal preference.  17's also work well set up correctly.

BBS 16 RXII's for me (refurbing a set at the moment)  :nerd:

Wheels are very much a personal preference as stated, think about the look you want to achieve and do plenty of research......be prepared to change your mind a lot!
