Dont know numbers about how much power your gonna lose but I can tell you that as the tires get bigger its gonna take more power from your engine to get them moving. I think 17 inch tires are the best all around to get because they're not too wide and a little lighter than tires 18 inches or bigger. You gotta figure that your cornering is gonna improve and you'll make the time that you lost up there. But, everyone has a different opinion on things so check around.

As long as the overall diameter and the weight stay close to stock, there should be little difference in power.

Use our tire calculator on the top right corner to do the speedo calculations then just hope teh ones you want are lightweight

When I got my 17's I could feel a definate power loss.
I think my rims are very heavy. Try to get light weight rims.

get what u think will look good on your car. Racing in civics is stupid, what is 5 lbs gonna matter? Just get what you will be happy with

Rotational mass has a much more pronounced effect on acceleration then say, an anvil collection in the trunk. Our little engines need all the help they can get. I don't know why anyone would want to handicap our cars any further by puttin' on some *bling* *bling* 30 lb chrome pizza pan wheels. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]

it's the difference between sprung and unsprung weight. Heavy wheels would hurt your power and MPG. While having a fat friend in your ride would not.
