Smile skinnies.. what? where?

Hey guys, I am looking to get some skinnies up front soon. I tried searching around and noone has really talked about any of this. I just have some general questions about them.

1. WHat size should I go with? 15"? 16"? 3" wide? 3.5" wide? 4" wide?
2. Also, what will I need as far as spacers or lengthened wheel studs?
3. What brand to buy? Which look the best/ are lightest?
4. What gains would you see with just this mod? Probably not much, but just wondering. I think I am just going to go with stock ws-6's out back with a 275/40/17 MT drag radial for right now.
5. And FINALLY, where to buy these damn things, I looked at about 4 sponsors and cant find them, I think summit might have them, but its hard to search around there sight.

Thanks guys, post up your experiences. I would appreciate it.

Talk to Steve before buying anything. He is very knowledgable about wheel fitment and sizes. He sells Bogarts and other brands and he's a sponsor of this site. If you call him Monday, you will buy the right stuff.
