I'm going bigger though eventually. 17's look a bit on the small side and 20's look a little too big.

I had the rendering of my car done with 19's which are a good compromise for looks, size and being able to fit HUGE brakes under them.

As far as raise white letters your going to have a hard time finding them in a 17" or larger tire that isn't meant for a truck. There was a company that was making white walls and red line tires in the larger sizes but I can't find them at the moment. And as expected, they were EXPENSIVE!

Your only other option would be to use the white paint pens that are meant for tires. They can look pretty good but do not last forever and will need to be touched up every so often.

Just remember that even though the taller wheels use much lower profile tires, at some point you begin to lose turning radius. I went from 235 50 16" to 245 45 18" on the front of my 94 Mustang (please - no boos, it's my wife's car) and the damn thing could'nt turn around in a football stadium. My wife bitched till I took em off and went with a narrower tire.

Lol, I was just about to boo ha but i'm going to do something because them 14's not gone work to much longer.

you can get paint pens, they come in different colors and you can turn the raised black letters into white letters, red, yellow...summit sells them but i have some from an old employer, they're just regular paint markers really. summit sells them for 6 bucks a pen but im sure you can find them locally easily.

just an idea...
