Here's some advice. You can go to the following links and use their little program where you choose your car (year, make, model) and it'll have a digital image of your car. Then you choose a set of wheels you like and it'll automatically put the set of wheels on your car. You can choose various sizes, which in your case, would be 17".
http://www.tirerack.com (it's a Shockwave program)
http://www.tires.com (choose "to your door" and go from there)
Each site will have a section where you get to purchase a set of wheels (obviously), it's pretty much self-explainatory from there. If you have trouble finding those sections, just post back and ask. My personal choices for wheels would be the 5-Zigen Heidfield or the 5ZR's, but that's just my preference. What color wheels are you looking for? Bronze? White? Gunmetal? Just go with whatever you like and whatever fits your budget. ^_^

Please don't type in caps. And also, try and go back and read Takumi's post, what he said was definitely said in the best intentions. Thanks.

i think your car would look good with gunmetal or black wheels, or a colour often referred to as "hyper silver". BTW the background on your site has very bright colours and is almost blinding, it gives me a headache <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>

Understood, it's okay. It sounds like the wheels you're looking for are usually the "mesh" type. Some more wheels you can try would be the Konig Imagine, Enkei Bortex RPM2 (currently back ordered on whalentire.com), Racing Hart C2 (but a lotta cars have these), and the Volk Racing SE-37K.
For pictures, I was looking at the following links.
http://www.whalentire.com
http://www.wheelmax.com
http://www.modacar.com/wheels/wheels.htm (I heard their service sucks, so beware)
<a href="http://www.modacar.com/wheels/lightweight_pkg.htm
And" target="_blank">http://www.modacar.com/wheels/lightweight_pkg.htm
And</a> there's a special running on 17" wheels on this site.
http://www.importhookup.com/wheeloptions/promotionalclearance.htm
They've got 17" 5-Zigen Heidfields for $950 shipped with Kumho tires. If ya wanna know what they'd look like on an S14, check out WeSt's car on this site. His car's blue, but you'll get an idea of what the wheels look like.
