16's or 17's. Initial cost may vary slightly but the only real difference will be when you gotta replace the rubbers.

Just remember.... It's all about weight. Wheel weight will drastically affect how a car performs. Lighter is better, but you need to watch out because a lot of light wheels aren't very durable. If cost is no object, look for forged wheels, they are light and strong. www.Introforged.com has some very nice looking forged wheels available in custom offsets. Good luck with your purchase.

"17's"

I put 17 inch Team Dynamics on my OZ. They ride nice and look sweet. I went with white on my yellow lancer. They fill up the fender well and still leave room without rubbing.

Just went out real quick and took a photo of my car with the rims on it. By the way my car is less the 72 hrs old in this pic.
