15X7 is good, but Kosei makes a 15X7.5 the K1 TS which is better.. and it costs about $140 each
but there are a lot of 15X7s availble.

Rep Power: 424 There is a wheel called the Atech Finalspeed. Its made by Esses, the same place that makes my Speedmasters. They're give or take $500. Finding them is the trick.
www.heeltoeauto.com is the only place I know of that sells them. You may find more if you search the internet.
Buddy Club P1SF (the cast ones) are 7" wide, but prolly more like $600. I don't know what 5Zigen FN01RCs cost but I think they're 7" as well.

Rep Power: 528 Those tires up there are 5 lug pattern. But I assume you're getting the 4 lug pattern from the "4-100."
How heavy are they?

Rep Power: 0 195/50/15's are too short of a tire for our car, 205/50 is the size you are going to want unless you enjoy spinning 4000 rpm at 70 mph. FYI I am running 205/50/15's, and try to find out the width, 15x6.5 is ok, 15x7 is better....

Rep Power: 380 205/50-15 is still Short for our civics, but they give a nice accleration boost... at the cost of top speed (Who goes that fast any way 
)
usafstud; I was looking at those when I first started looking at 15's. Nice wheels

Rep Power: 380 Well whats your top speed with stock sized wheels and minus 4.55% if you have a Non EX or 5.47 if you do...
so If your theroetical Top speed with an EX is say 135, then with the 205/50-15s your new top speed will be 127.6155 MPH. But you'll get to that speed quicker!!!
Smaller tires Effectivly shorten the gearing in the car giving you better accleration at the cost of top speed.
