RE: Nice Rims
performance wheels over lookers is something only you can decide on.
Performance wheels are light and small. You dont want a lot of weight and wheels can weigh A LOT! It also depends on what kind of rubber you put on those bad boys. The lighter and smaller the wheel, the better off you are. I think the biggest you should go if your wanting new wheels for performance is 16"
For looks, I'd say 17's would fill up the wheel well pretty decently. I am not too big into the looks but I cant deny a good set of rims when I see them. However those are not them[:'(] ... but it is not my car!
You pivk what YOU like, not what I like. Good luck finding a set of rims!

If your going to buy aftermarket rims, it is absolutly stupid to buy new rims, THAT ARE THE SAME SIZE AS STOCK! 1st off it looks stupid, and second, compare the price of a set of 15" rims to a set of 17" rims, not much of a difference, only advantage to buying same a stock is, you dont have to buy new tires, i would save my money, and buy some nice 17" rims and tireS, it will look much nicer than some aftermarket stock size rims.

I like the five spoke rims. The MBmotoring rim was just one that I found. I still got an aweful lot of money to spend and a lot of time to look.

RE: Nice Rims
Ok, i thought you were buying 15' cus you have 15" and didnt want to buy new tires. if you are going from 14" to 15" you are gonna have to buy new tires anyway so you might as well spend the little bit of extra money and go up to 16" or even 17" and like everyone else said, if you are looking for performance, just look for a lighter wheel, but the wheel isnt always the problem, i have had wheel and tire packages where the tire weighs alot more than the wheel! So if you buy a lightweight performance 15" wheel, the only way to keep the package lightwieght is by buying a really low profile tire, and then you have a huge gap in your wheel well. I didnt mean to rip you apart by the way. But judging by the style of rim you had selected originally, you arnt after perfromance, so if i were you, i would still go with a nice 5 or 6 spoke 16-17" wheel and tire package.

You can get a real nice set of rims and tires 16 or 17" with tires mounted and balanced shipped to your door. You would expect to pay anywhere form 600$ to 800$ for something like this, just look around on the internet for packages, i have 17" rims with a 215 45 17 tire, plenty of sidewall and i dont have to worry about blowouts.
