Have you considered following (or developing) your own sense of style?  
If it is not already, when it is painted sit down and look at it.  
Which wheels feel right to you deep down in an emotional level?  Wheels 
can be expensive and you will have to live with what you do.  Pick the 
one that feels right to you.

Here is a thought for you.  Spare tyre stowage. the stock tyre size, 
steel disk or 48 spoke wheel is what fits in the spare tyre 
compartment.  However all you need is a wheel that fits the hub and is 
the same diameter as the road wheels for a spare.  I run 165R15 tyres 
on 60 spoke wheels.  The spare is the same size tyre on a 48 spoke 
wheel.  You could run minilites with a fat tyre that is the same 
diameter as a 165-15 and be OK.  Your tyre dia is limited by what fits 
in the spare compartment if you wish to have a spare along.
