What size do you reckon would be best size like for both cost and still drive well right now they are 225/55/R17

Also are the ss rims a good idea or just get aftermarket one

Depends on whether you want a soft ride, or harsh ride, determines wheel size

Rims is always a personal preference.....One person might say their rims look shite hot, whilst the next says they look like shtie

So best look at various rims and decide what suits your taste, not everyone elses

Cost wise 17" are a good compromise. I would definitely go with SS rims mainly because they were designed for the car.

Hmm interesting... I thought Berlina's came with the LE0 engine though if it says LY7, than it's probably an LY7...

As in each exhaust has a single tip?
LY7 should be twin exhaust with single tipped mufflers.

Straight swap for dual tip SS.

I think you will need the bumper too. 2 outlets on it.
