what do you have right now, looks like it's dumped on Si's?

I like that look.

What size rim are you going for and what's your budget?
Are you slamming it, dropping it just a little? Looking for low offset/flush/tucked?

Here's 17 pages of coupe pics for some ideas:

cool, do some research on low offset wheels and what it takes to make them fit. Depending on the width/offset you'll need to go really low to get the negative camber you need to make the tires clear the fenders. Also you'll definitely need to roll your fenders and probably pull them out some.
The low offset looks cool but it puts a lot of stress on wheel bearings and ball joints too.
If you're on a budget, Sportmax, XXR, Rota, Drag, and Axis make some low offset wheels that won't hurt the wallet too bad.

on a 15 x 7" wide wheel, something in the +35 to +42 range is safe.

We can't decide what you like... Just browse some wheel sites and get what you think will make you go "Dayyum.. My car is HAWT" everytime you see it.

Yea what chance said :D
You can never go wrong with some rotas for your first wheels too. They have a big variety.

I say round wheels, they tend to work best.
