As for what rims you go with that's a personal taste thing....
Going for a staggered look might give you a big problem. The ABS brakes and the traction control will be effected by staggered tire sizes. You can change widths without to much problem as long as the outside diameter of the tires front and rear are the same.... you could play with different size rims front and back with different aspect ratios (ie 50,55,60) as long as the over all outside diameter in the front and the back are the same.
For example something like a 17 inch rim in the front and a 16 inch rim in the rear with 50s in the front and 55 or 60 series tires in the rear. you could get the same size outer diameter and have larger side walls in the rear..... It would take a little to figure out exactly what sizes you would need.
Just my .02$

mrkill - i have looked at these in the past, and was really tempted, besides the fact that they have nascar stamped all over them.
Otherwise it is a pretty sweet rim. I had even did a quick photoshop of them on mine. I also have the calipers mocked up in these, but they are yellow for real now.
Seeing them now, still tempted... Where did you see the other sizes and prices. I am seeing $153 each at tirerack for 18's. Not bad for a set of rims with a bit of style and not too much money. Still wish i could have gotten some black proplusions with tires on ebay when they were around. Hard to find now.
