For just looks and setting speed aside, 18s on a pre 97. 19's on a 97+ and 20s if the car has a kit. thats the only way they flow well.

19's with a body kit. 18's if you're on a stock body.

Rolling on the 19". 17" where way too small on the car with a kit, 18" well maybe because the high offset looked small too. Went with some 19" and I couldn't be happier.

Personally I think 18 is perfect. That was what our cars should have had out of the factory, and its what the SC430 has now. Its right there with both style and performance. 19 is too much and 20+ is if you got a body kit on, but by that point you probably already got the whole package of tacky bling-bling look-at-me ego trip stuff.
