A lot of it depends on what you're doing with it. First you want to select your tire size. Then get a wheel that you like to mount the tire on and then put the wheel on.

Personally I think wider is better, up to 245. Then it gets unpractical for a street based car (you have to roll the fenders) and again personally I don't really like any wheels over 18", too much rotating mass.

Read some of the other threads around here and see what you want these wheels and tires for, when they'll be used (if it's a street application will you need a wet weather tire, snowy, summer, all around?)

Is it for autocross, drag, road race, something else?

How often you can replace the tires, what's your budget, what do you want: looks or lightweight/combination?

EDIT: A big big help for you and everyone else would be to read through every single one of the stickied threads in the handling section, including the "FAQ suggestions"
