bigger seems to be better in general- but to go ba's you'd need adaptors/ spacers, so depends on if you want to keep it legal.

18 inch GTP rims but only if you get them in E-seies offset. hub addapters or spacers are s**t.

GTP Rims for sure.

Or you could dump the s**t outta the car and leave the stock 15's on. Looks good IMO. Plus 15's are alot cheaper for tyres ;)

i wouldnt put the 18's on unless your gonna lower it further,
the el gt wheels will suit the colour hell well tho i rekon.
in my opinion the ba gtp wheels combined with superlows will look shmick

I have a ef fairmont, heritage green, that is stupidly low, and i drove it around on stock 15's, looked sick. I had e-plates and never once was pulled over. I have 18's now looks sick, the rolling radius is the same, but i think it looks better on the 15's some times, although it doesn't handle.
