Thanks for that guys,
i now have just spent my money. I bought 16x7in american racing "hopster"! A little different but i think they will look great.
My car will be shipped to Australia next week, so i will be able to post some pics with the wheels in abouy 8 weeks.
Anyway here is a couple of pics of my new ride

The C-5's are all Chrome it looks like. Too much flash for me.
You will be spending a lot of time keeping them clean.

There is a Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge difference between a rim thats finished in chrome (tacky and flashy), and a polished aluminum finish (the nicer finish imo).
CHROME
POLISHED

I have 14X7's up front and don't have any problems rubbing. It's the size of the tire that you have to be careful of.

Can I get thinner tires than the back ones using all the same size 15 x 7 rims?

Soaring, I just ordered TT D's, all 15 x 7's. I hope I don't get that dreaded rubbing up front.

Of course you can. The only drawback doing that is that you can't neccessarily rotate the smaller sized tires to the back and vise versa.
