I voted 15".
But......it all depends on the look of the car. A mostly stock appearing, Spec racecar looks perfect with 13"s.But a muscular widebody car with exaggerated lines looks better(and handles better) with wide,low profile tires and taller rims to fill in the fenders.
I liked the look of my bone stock body (and later, narrow body kit) with my old 15" Centerlines.They just fit well.205/50's on 15' rims matched the theme of the car.Even the stock 13"s looked good for a while.
Now with the widebody flared fenders and a completely changed profile overall,the 15"s just looked like an afterthought on my car.With a larger circumference,my 17"s fill the gap and suit the "racecar image" better.

I am going to go with 17's...i think this makes the car's appearance really stand out....i got an 82' GS and i know this guy that makes wheel adapters that changes our 4X110mm pattern to a 4X4.5 ...he charges 170 (plus shipping i think which is like $10) bucks for all four...i have his email if anyone is intrested......

Personally I think the GSL-SE wheels look best. Especially when highly polished or chromed.
Too bad they don't come in 15 or 16" sizes, and wider. (Pic 1)
The Enkei wheels don't look too bad. Pretty good actually. I like chrome tho. (Pics taken from www.rotorhead.ca) (Pic 2 & 3)
The American Racings wheels are ok (Pic 4).
