I would go with either 16 or 17... anything more just doesn't look right!

I agree, but I'll throw in 15's too. Definitely nothing larger than 17's.

If you are not going with bigger brakes, go with some 16X7 and run some 225/50-16 tires on them...if you are going with bigger brake look to the 17's...I find the 42mm offsets the best btw.

Agreed, if you don't want to worry about fitment issues. Those offsets are safe and look good.

I had the OG Oldskools for awhile, they were cool, I liked the way they looked. If you get those you will need a little bit of a roll in the back though unless you don't mind rubbing a little. I opted for a bigger lip though and got rid of them.

IMO 16's are just the right size, I hated the 17's I had on mine, I bought some 16's and I think they allow for a nicer sized tire for a more comfortable ride and still look good (i.e. - not to big/small).

And getting rims powder coated is way cheap. I just called a local place and asked for a quote and they said about $175 for all four!

sorry, had to throw that in there, I'm thinking of powder coating my stock rims...

Is the offset supposed to be stamped inside the rim? I have the option to by some 17x7's off a friend of mine for dirt cheap. But the only things I see stamped inside are the 17x7 and ET42... oh and made in taiwan. No company name yet, but the rims are pretty dirty.

Oh and they're wrapped in 205/40ZR17 84W Yokohama ES 100's. (I'm going to go google search/tirefactory.com to see if that will fit.

Here's an EP3 (mine actually) with 17's. I'm only rocking them for a little while. My buddy had 'em hanging around his place, and I wanted to try a low-pro, and bigger rim. They're currently for sale.
