They'll fit on a 4th or 6th Gen too

If there is a specific forum about what you're asking you should use that...like Fluids/Lubricants...Regional...Detailing...Tires/Wheels bc they are specifically made for that and don't clutter space in this forum (Not that I care, but so I have learned from the .org gurus over the years)

I think you should go with these rims. provided you can find the center caps

these are 18 x 7.5, they also come in 8.5''.

the center cap (the part with the Enkei logo) is the hardest thing to find, i think i got them from buywheelstoday.com

but I cannot remember exactly

they are the Enkei OR52's

Not sure dimension wise, but I do like the look of that one above the others you posted, probably because it reminds me of the stock 6 spoke design.

#4 from your first post would be my choice. 35 offset would look good. If not then you could always get some spacers.

a friend of mine who is in the fashion business opined to me that "pink is the new black" for 2006

so, if you want to be stylin' after the new year, better find some pink wheels! At the next meet, I'll let Nikita know that you want some pink 3-spoke 16's for your birthday

If your stock rims are in good shape I'll buy them to help pay for your new rims.
