There are many places that sell wheels. It really depends on your budget and what you are looking for. Lowering wise... At least 35mm all round... 40mm would be better...

I would go for a black and yellow combo
Would make it pretty aggressive though so not sure if thats to your taste ? To do that I would dechrome (replacing with black), including black wheels and then get it 40mm down on some coils Or if you dont have a spare £650 + fitting for coils get some 30mm springs for circa £130+fitting but with the extra weight of the cabrio the ride may be more compromised with just lowering springs... ??What wheel styles do you like ? As a place to start at least, have a browse: http://www.performancealloys.com I quite like these: http://www.performancealloys.com/det...sion=487680056

Depends on what you want. 16's without runflats give superb ride quality, very comfortable. (That's what I have on mine) 17s is the way most go. Ditching runflats (if you have them) will make a difference though... Due to the ride height of your car, 17s would look great. Will look even better if you lower the car...

What ^ said - 17s give the best compromise between new tyre costs, ride and wheelgap so most choose 17s...

Very nice Holly, welcome to the forum, Black/Yellow like a Bee or Wasp with a bit of tuning to give the sting in its tail
