pretty good link for parts. questions though

http://www.importfan.com/product.asp?3=3735
the mr2 i may get is black. which wheels would look good for it? i like 5 stars mostly. i like the corpse and gram lights. but im goin for a black/blue look(blue trim or wiring, or parts fittings, like the rubber fittings for the hks turbo piping kit). anyway, those were the most good wheels i could find, but are the prices about right, or do any of you know where i can get better prices? also, i would like bigger than stock wheels, but if i get 17's, ill have to get low sidewall tires, and bumpy roads will be harsh, right? i want awesome traction, so if i get 16's, what width should i get them in? 8 in front, and 9 in the rear? what size tires in the fr/rear, can i put on? handling is has an important role in this, and reasonably light wheels would give it a little better steering response, and less rotational weight on the rear wheels. anyway, help please? i looked in the sticky, but couldnt find info pertaining to it

I'm a fan of the Volk GT-C's. Agressive looking and very lightweight.

Gunmetal with a polished lip on a black car is very nice, but bronze/gold with a polished lip on a black car is pimptacular.

18's? is that even possible? i mean, i thought 17's were the biggest, but if i can use 18's, then 17's should be fine. what height should the tires be with 17's? 45?
