Lots of ways you can go. Something like a 17x7 rim with 205/50R17's is a pretty popular setup paired with coilovers. I don't have any pictures of my old '01 but it looked really good with that setup.

As for rims, that's really up to you. Tastes are different.

I personally liked 215/45-17's on my 2002. Sure, a bit less sidewall, but wider tires

I buy my wheels used. You can find a clean set of 17x7 wheels for about half the price you would buy new.
