it all comes down to how much you wanna spend ...
the rims that came with the car when i bought, i never heard of and they are called Evolution...
they are not bad looking rims and they only weight a little over 24lbs with 245/45-18 tire on it (each)



also if you got the $$$ i would go with a good strong yet light wheel, so...
Racin Hart, OZ, Mille Miglia, ASA, enkei ( its half decent )...

or you can just pretty much click here and see what you like... :)

any unchromed wheel will be lighter than urs... and stick with 18's, if you go bigger not only will it look stupid you will risk bending the rim more... plus you'll lose some performance with such a small tire... also lower your car, the wheels will seem like they fit better with a smaller wheel gap

there are plenty of other wheels you could get. But id stay with 18's like they said.

IMO id get rid of that wing too.

psh mine r hamann's custom fit, off a beamer, and they actually look good. they came with the car and i luv them, although they're not the lightest ones. 18's deff look the best, my buddy had 17's on his and they just looked way too small
