LY/B and wheels options.

i recently purchase a LY/B and am planning on buying different wheels for it. Im also thinking about lowering it one day.
What would be a good wheel choice for my car?

Given the black roof and mirrors-

Darker wheels would work.

All black flat or gloss
Black with polished lip
Dark anthracite
Dark Gun Metallic
Dark silver
Yellow powdercoated or OEM LY painted

16x7
17x7

If you lower you should watch not to make the tire too much taller than stock. Limit about 24.4" tire diameter.

That looks fine.
You can make the color LY/B

If 18x7 wheels then

Tires
215/40-18
Yokohama AVID W4S $126 each
Ultra High Perf All Season tires
400 treadwear 24.7" tire diameter. Works with stock suspension

Otherwise if lowering then
215/35-18 is fine. A little smaller than stock tire diameter for more clearance.
