15s- best for handling and speed but dont quite fill the arches
16s- not so hot for handling but you'll get used to it, fill the arches perfectly.
17s- shite handling, look to big on standard arches.

biggest load of pap ive ever heard for handling u want to go for 19's mate offset et37 joke nah as ppl have said 16's r porbs best round size for looks whilst still retaining handling to be quite good, 17's imo aint to big but the handling is just crap.

if your fitting a body kit, you need 17's else it'll look shite, but if you have standard trim then keep your 15's else, again, it will look shite.

Handling is fine on 17"s.

I have enormous amounts of grip with mine and its so much fun to drive with hardly any understeer.

Also id hate to think how easy it would be to light up my front wheels with little light 15"s on there
