Depends on your budget and what you have in mind, a lot of wheels can be made to fit with adaptors and/or arch work. There aren't a vast amount of wheels that will fit straight on.

Assuming you still have standard wheels on, they will be 5x100, 6.5J and probably ET42

thank you kind sir

No worries, just a little advice: If it were me i'd go no bigger than 16", 17's ruin the ride a bit, plus you won't be able to lower it much; 16's are a good compromise between looks and ride. Also if your getting wheels that need adaptors (e.g. Merc or Porsche) make sure you look for a high offset to allow for the adaptors as they will be at least 15-20mm

A bit more info for you Scooby wheels will not fit, offset is all wrong plus bolt holes need machining out.
