New here....suggestions on wheels?

Hey all. I picked up a 2007 Mazda 3 about a month ago.

Here's a pic:

My question to you is, what type of wheels would you recommend?

I got a set of Aluminum 16" rims & tires from 1010tires.com (Sport Edition F10 Wheels was the closes to my stock rims)... but take your pic of whatever is cheap. I am happy with my rims, though they discolored yellowish where brake dust accumulated, and the lugnut hole finish flaked off a little since it's a tight fit for the socket. They look tons better than steel rims in any case and it's in the 2nd winter now.
Then order a set of the TPMS units from a 2006 (which worked on my 2007) for the tire pressure monitoring. The whole set after mounting, balancing, resealing one of the TPMS gaskets and it was under $1000. But it is definitely a benefit being able to simply swap rims & tires when the weather changes.
