Will's copout answer? Swoopies. :P Seriously though, they would look good, but anything with the 5x115 pattern will fit. For a low budget, maybe find some stock 92-99 Bonnie alloys? Crosslaces, Torque stars etc. :dontknow:
I bought a MINT set of Silver Xlaces on Ebay for $200 shipped over the summer. :btruestory:

In that price range, you should be able to scoop up some nice Bonnie 16's. :btruestory:

Also, where do you live? At this point is wait till spring to buy, meaning you have plenty of time too look before you buy.

What's your time frame in England?

I live in Delaware, and I will be in England for a full semester. From January to May. Also I noticed my front tire pressure looked low on both driver side and passenger side. I think when they put my front tires on they didn't add enough air.

you can also look at some grand prix rims. iam currently rolling on a set of grand prix gt rims (97 i believe). i like the look of these as opposed to the stock ABS rims that most of the 96-99's come with

:withstupid: Those looks good as well! Relatively easy to find, lots of 97-03 GP's had those.

Personally I would go with the GP rims picture above if possible. Cross-laces are not my thing on 96-99 Bonnies, and torque stars might look cheesy on an SE. But whatever floats your boat. If you have half a sense of taste, it's really hard to make these cars look bad.

You want to keep your tires? I'll bet there's a chance those steelies on your car are 15's. Better double-check. And keep in mind, they're probably 205's as well, most of us run 225 on our alloy stock 16's.
