Get really big heavy 20" Bling Bling rims.... 
Just kidding. There are a number of folks here with different aftermarket rims. I've got some ADR cypher bronze wheels. SSR and Gram Lights are also great rims, though a little expensive. 17" rims will give you a better ratio for accelleration. The stock rim weighs about 22 lbs (correct me someone if I'm wrong) in case that might go into your decision to getting other rims. Gunmetel or bronze wheels look great on the Ti Grey cars, IMHO.

You want the DPK's. The gunmetal color matches the Ti almost exactly. And they're not costly. They didn't weigh much either.
I paid $700 including shipping for the set. They're 19"
