ok, I'm going to put it like this, this is my personal opinion

205/50/15 with a serious drop is what I like

205/45/16 with the right offset and a drop also looks kick ass

I would go no larger than 15-16 myself take a look around there are lots of pictures with similar set ups

I totally agree. I just put 15" black konig heliums on with the factory tires and it looks great (I'll post the pics as soon as I take some...). There are so many advantages to having smaller wheels (especially on this car). If you are at all on the fence about what size to go, you might want to consider staying under 17" - IMHO.

As promised, here is a pic with the 15" Konig Heliums....Keep in mind, this was a pretty inexpensive way to go, and in my opinion they look great:

Wheels: ~ $400 with shipping (buywheelstoday.com)
Factory Tires: Free
Black Spline Drive Lugs: $24.95 plus shipping (ezaccessory.com)
Mounting/Balancing: $40 tax included (Belle Tire)

Hey KwonSau, I just ordered from buywheelstoday.com! They had a lot of choices and prices were good. I got Konig Minuz in 15x6.5

Rotas are definitely a good deal too, got their GT3s on other car now.

I found them when I searched for wheels on yahoo and I was really impressed with their shipping time.

FYI, I kept going back and forth between the Minuz and the Heliums myself. The Minuz will look killer on the black car.
