I do need bigger wheels 
my 16z dont cope with 430Nm torque at around 3000rpm 
 
ppl are suggesting i go for the Kitcar solution 
get more space between the wheels on each axl 
 
i need new tyres very bad 
and i dont want to buy 16z now and find out i need 17z later 
 
also thinked on semi-slick for the 16z... avon zzr 205/45 16 
but dont know how they cope on the normal roads at the speeds i do make 
 
my thought is on 8x17 ProRAce1z 
 
what do you all think?

...the 16z will stay for track use with slick tyres.

black rims on the right car look good but there isnt many that it works really well on! 
 
IMO you NEED silver or anthracite at worst rims as in present state your car looks awful with the black rims! 
 
Just IMO i think it would realy freshen up the car ahving lighter wheels!
