We need more info. Is this car your daily driver? How much ride comfort do you wanna sacrifice? What sizes are you looking into? What are your tastes? How much do you wanna spend? I say get suspension components before wheels because no one likes putting on 18's and having to ride around with huge fenderwell gap

the biggest question is are you going for looks or performance, i'm guessing looks.

if so get like 18s with a chrome lip

if not get light weight 16 or 17s

It is my daily driver so therefore I'm definitely gonna want to keep it comfortable. I was thinking 17's? I'm pretty sure mine are 15's stock?I like black or gunmetal and I'm not sold on ones with the chrome lip yet. I'd kinda have to see how they look on the same year and color as mine.
As far as price range, I wanna stay as low as possible, maybe go up to around $800 or so.
