Totaly depends on what style your affter,and the type of use the car gets,but 15's and 16's are best.

15'S. I WANT 13 OR 14 INCH EURO STYLIE RIMS THOUGH.
I too would say 15", I have tried 14, 15,16 and 17's (although not on my current car) and 15's by far drive the best.
All personal choice though

I'm liking 14's at the moment. I run them on my FWD 16v and RWD 16v.

i have 16s, fill the arch much better than 15's but doesn't handle as good though.
Definately 15's, although 16's will alow bigger brakes which are always a bonus. Dont go bigger than 16's unless you just want to look at it.
you wont really need any brakes bigger than what you get under 15's unless you have found one of the special edition 1.2's with an air filet, exhaust and NOZ stickers which have 800hp IIRC and do 224mph, then you need bigger ones

Ive got 15" cav gsi rims on mine, and you can fit 288mm brakes underneath which is plenty of braking power unless you are running a stupidly powered LET.

17s look poo unless you kit it up then it will look poo anyway in my opinion
i put 17s on my nova well 1 it come off there and then it looked silly
it will look more low which its all about in my book
15s are best cheaper tyers as well
