Default Wheel suggestions?

I'm thinking about wheels now, and I'm fishing for suggestions. As always, I'm on a budget, so cheaper (so long as they last) will tend to be better.

I'm looking for plain-looking 6 spoke wheels. I prefer gunmetal grey, but I have no problem repainting silver wheels when I get them (I'd probably throw a few coats of clear on anyway). I'm thinking 16" or possibly 17". I've got TRD springs on the way.

I don't want to have too harsh a ride, as I do drive from Boston to Philly regularly and my butt values comfort. Would 16" be the way to go? Does 15" rims look weird/ make the tires look big? Thanks a lot guys!

I am rocking 16's deffly not a cheap wheel but you can get some cheap.. Rota make really good wheels and they are light. The ride is similar to stock and if you get the right tires they look fine

I have Volk TE37 which are a 6 spoke but they are pricey...they are 18x7.5 front and rear. looks really nice on the car. I might be selling them. They are a silver gunmetalish color too with a polished lip on toyo proxy4's.

You could get 15in Rota Grids. Cheap since you can use the stock tires or get new tires if you want. Plus they come in gunmetal and you have the choice of chrome lip or not.

Check them out at JLB:

There are plenty of folks here rolling with 15's, check the pics. And I think someone here has the Grids too.
