    I know it is a different model but i started off with 16s then progressed to 17s and now have 18s on my S70, I find the 18s handle a lot better but the ride is harsher as i have 35 profile tyres on them now, it felt better with 40 profiles on but it used to rub like mad so i had to make the sacrifice i do like the look of the 35 profile though

    I know Im biased and they're horendously expensive but HEICO rims look ace and they're dead easy to clean!





    Also Radius R6s are a good choice

    Went past a C70 parked up on 18" or 19" inch OZ 5 spoke rims and thought they looked pretty cool...http://www.bigwheels.net/wheels/oz/canyon.jpg
