If you can't wait and are stuck w/16's, stay away from anything with a wide outer lip. Though an excellent wheel and a classic design the Enkei's RP-F1's come to mind. That will surely make them look smaller on the car than they are and one reason I shied away from them.

But if I were you, a 17 looks great on the sedan and I would put it off as long as possible. Have the OE tires re-mounted on the OE wheels this summer and go w/aftermarket wheels next season. How much could it cost?
If you're like me and you like to do a lot of research before choosing, it may take you that long to decide anyway. I spent 2-1/2yrs shopping for wheels before choosing Kosei Racing wheels. Similar to the Enkei, lighter weight and a 17". Plus they were a bit cheaper and came w/center caps. Caps for the Enkei's were another $100, which I thought ridiculous.
