Aftermarket Wheel options and specs

Hows it going. I just recently purchased my first 1st gen rx7 which is a 85 with a 12a 4x110 bolt pattern. What are some good sizes and offset wheels to put on this car? I have watanabes in mind but im open to other options.
thanks. Please post a pic of your ride with wheel set up that way i can get an idea on how much they stick out
thanks!

I picked up some sweet enkei rpf1 knockoffs for my grocery getter the other month. 15x7 et35. Very cheap and excellent quality. They would look friggen sweet on a near stock fb.
just type your wheel size and stud pattern into ebay or amazon or wherever you do your boozy midnight shopping and there should be a plethora of stuff coming out of the more industrious parts of the third world and capitalist/communist utopias

If you roll your fenders, 0mm offset looks really good too

15x8 +10 offset. 205/50. Rolled rear fenders. or what it's worth, these were custom built Epsilons. I had been running Rota Shakotans with the same specs, and didn't need to roll the fenders.
