17 or 18 inch rims with either Toyo Proxes T1-S or T1-R tires. Go for 17’s if you want a smoother and slightly faster ride.

If the wheels are 17" and are 149.99 $ each, are they any good-- and what do the average 17" OEM wheels weigh- I'm still in the preliminary Tuning stages, and i was also wondering, is 17 lbs./wheel heavy?

$150 is a good price, 17lbs a wheel is pretty light.

Can you still put in spacers for the wide stance look?

How's 16" stock? Does this give better ride compared to 17"? How about 17" with normal tires (not run flat)?

16s will be smoother than 17s and regular tires will be smoother than run-flats.
