Sporty 16"

I'm looking at '07s right now. I'd like to stick with the 16" wheels and LE suspension, b/c as much as I like sporty and tight handling, I'll be driving this thing about 300k highway miles in the next 5-6 years. So, I'll be going through more tires and want the plusher ride and longer lasting and less expensive non-sport 16" tires. Anyway...anyone have any nice looking aftermarket wheel choices in 16" size that will take standard width tires? I'd like to give it a sportier look without sacrificing the other things mentioned above.

why dont you just get the 17s from the 07 SE models or from is300?
it will definitely give you a sportier look than 16s ever would.

Did you read my post? I want to stay on 16's b/c I don't want to go down in sidewall height and prefer to stick with 'touring' tires rather than 'sport' tires. Basically, I want a long lasting, softer riding tire which is a standard size (so also less expensive, even for the high quality ones). I know bigger rims are always going to look sportier.

Anyone have any suggestions or have any good looking 16" alloys?

Those are very nice. I'm not a big fan of the black though. That's just me.

DANG! Put a big star on the door, a stripe down the side, and red lights on the roof and you have yourself a smokey cruiser!

This car looks sinister!

I've got my 18" BBS with same tires as Corcamry, rides nice and smooth. Sure theres more metal so feel a lil more bump, but its nothing to even notice. It makes up for it with the smooth, sleek, and tight control.
