[Tigers] Wheel and Tire Aesthetics

Listers -

I'm currently running 13x6 Panasports with Sumitomo 195/60 tires front and
back.  It seems like half the wheel well is empty.  I'm considering upsizing
to 14 or 15 inch wheels, but I'm not sure size which yet.  I recognize
tastes vary widely when it comes to wheels and tires.  Intended use is
general purpose street and highway cruising, not competition or track work.
For now, my plan is to run the same width front/back, but I'm open-minded.
I know some run a staggered width to get more grip in the rear.  

First, from a ride and handling standpoint, what changes did you notice from
changing wheel size (13 to 14, 14 to 15, or 13 to 15)?  Any happy surprises
or regrets in your decision?  Went too big?  Didn't go big enough?

I'm not around enough Tigers to get a feel for the different visual options.
If you believe you've found the perfect wheel/tire size combo, please post a
pic with wheel/tire dimensions, or send to me directly (never get tired of
looking at Tigers).  BTW, I plan on attending the TE/AE United in Staunton,
VA next month, so don't be alarmed if you see someone lurking around your
rubber and scribbling notes. 

Cheers,
