Personally, I say 17's would be a all around choice with a 7" width so there are no fitment probs. Im runnin 17"x7" wheels with 215/50/17 tires. Less chance of smashing a wheel when hittind a bad hole. as for brands, pretty much any brand you want is available.

If i had the money, i'd pony up for some Centerline RPM 17x7 or maybe even 18x7. At 400 each, they are a bit spendy, but they are hella light,14 lbs each for 18's i believe. If i get this new job i have my eye on, i might be buying myself an early birthday present next year....

Since you used the word performance, I assume you want to build a performance car? This means that the smallest performance wheel you can use in conjunction with a performance wheel would be 17" in most cases. emoji

hehe performance does not mean bigger wheels in most cases that would be looks..

performance wheel would be smaller lighter and stronger..

if u want performance for drag racing a good combo would be 15 or 16's 45-60seris tires real sticky like drag radials,

auto x 16 would be optimum with some sticky tires for cheap ones sumitomo or kumho are great buys z rated for its strong sidewall and 45-50 seris to protect from potholes..

the tall u go the more roll you'll get in corners with the tires..

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.
If you want it cheap and good, it's not going to be fast.

most total performance cars have big brakes tho, meaning you pretty much need 17's atleast. I plan to go up to 18's. The 18's I want are going to actually save me about 20 lbs. 22 lbs each compared to my 27.5 lb 17's. So, bigger isn't going to slow you down all the time.
