    Be careful about Kazera and Nippon. I've heard stories of Kazera easily bending, and of Nippon easily losing their color (and thus looking like anus!). How about these:

    The Rota's come in multiple finishes, usually. I have Royal Sprots Bronze Circuit 10's on my 98. They look fantastic. I just need to get them powdercoated to cover up some blemishes and scratches.

    Me personally I would go for the Steel Grey or the Steel Grey with polished lip. Im really not a fan of black rims. I dig bronze rims but they dont look good on silver so eh.

    You should pick rims that you like and rims that fall within your budget. Everyone has their own tastes. Size wise Id stick with 15" or 16". 17"+ and you get into rubbing issues and if you have potholes in your area, kiss your rims and tires goodbye.
