larger wheels will make it handle a little worse, and if it is a low litre then it will be slower of the mark.

Whack some escos rims on it if you can flash the cash!!

Personally I would get it lowered a little some cossy rims and nice stainless exhaust and away you go.

best handling go for 15's

for a good compromise between looks and handling go for 16's

15s and lower it more, so the wheels look bigger, but you will still have the best handling
