Best offset for new 17" R53 wheels?

I"m thinking about ditching the factory 17" S-Lites and going with a nice set of 17x7 aftermarket wheels. What offset should I get? The factory S-Lite wheels have a 48mm offset....but I've seen people running anywhere from 30mm to 50mm offset.

What looks/handles the best on an R53 mini with 215/45/17 tire?
