that depends on how little you want to pay, and how wide of a tire you want to run. You can pick up used mazda rx7 fd wheels for 200 bucks, and they are 16*8 + 50 and still lighter then the stock wheels. If you want a 17*10 or 17*9 wide wheel I suggest going with Enkei RPF1 since they are much cheaper (1100$) then volks, advans and bbs, and weight almost nothing.

Volk RE30 or CE28N. Hands down the lightest, strongest and dare I say best looking wheels. Not cheap, that wasn't part of your question. The ADVAN wheels are about the same construction and weight as the Volks but the Volks are far more desirable IMHO.

What about Kodiak Racing wheels? You can have them custom made with the exact offset and center bore you want. Not cheap, about the same $$ as Volks. http://www.kodiakracingwheels.com/index.html

Im a fan of the Gramlights and the Prodrives. The Prodrives are a bit cheaper than the Volks and Gramlights.. You can generally get 17's staggered for around 600-700 for the set..
