Default Old skool wheels ona tc

I am planning on getting some wheels for my ssm tc. I want either 15 or 16's and I want an off the wall color for an old school feel. Any suggestions. I was thinkin bright red with polished lip or like the "tein" green with a polished lip. What do you guys think?

Why 15 or 16 inch wheels? Would you be running a tire with a taller sidewall?

Buy a Mustang for old-school feel. I don't know what school you're thinking of anyways.

FIRST OF ALL.. you will not likely find anything in production with a 5x100 after 96+. there are no old school jdm wheels you can just slap on the car because of that. and most wheels from that late 90's era are ugly. if scion was smart and gave us either a 4x100 or 5x114.3 then we would have better options but since we got screwed with 5x100 we are limited to the back tracing on wheels.
