hi dana,
there are so many options out there.
there are many things to take into concideration.
example.
ease of cleaning.
preference of factory or aftermarket styling.
pricing on tires for replacement time. ( bigger are usually more expensive)

you can run 16" up to 19 " on your car. bolt(lug) pattern is 5 lug x 100mm (5 x 100)
the bigger the wheel, the lesser the sidewall on tire and rougher ride/ but better handling.
an easy way to pick wheels is to do a search on ebay for the following wheels that would bolt right up. not necessarily to buy, but more less window shop.

try these searches
audi tt wheels
vw beetle wheels
volkswagen wheels
gti wheels

then try these searches again replacing the word WHEELS with RIMS.

its fun, enjoy!!
