Just from a 'stand out' point of view and similar size to original 15 inch but not overly big. I would look into trying to get a set of 2nd hand escort cosworth alloys and for the money you should get a decent set with tyres nearer the 400 price range.

Rims that look nice on a s2 are standards, momo arrows, tsw stealth, oz superleggera and superturismo, comps, speedline's, rs7's, softlines, all in my opinion of course

You could try painting or powdercoating the original wheels in a contrasting colour, depending on the colour of your car.
