Default New rims and tires

I had my wheels stolen off my car this December. I have been using a really terrible set borrowed from a friend in the meantime and now I'm shopping. I googled for suggestions about potential rim / tire size, and I know I COULD put 16 or 17's on... but should I? I should probably mention thatI cant really afford to modify the suspension at all on this posting...

Help?

It's up to you. 15" tires will be cheaper then 16", and even more so then 17" alternatives. If you want to keep the car cost effective, I would look for some OEM wheels on Craigslist and get some new tires for them.

I'd get some 16's... 15's look okay. 17's look ghetto, in my opinion, because of the way the car was designed.
