Re: these wheels, stock height
Small rims and tires and stock height dont look too great. I would go 17s or higher. Or just put some thicker tires on to give it a larger appearance. Save up for some tokico blues and a coilover system and then those rims would look dope as hell

Re: these wheels, stock height
Actually. It's the other way around. small rims on stock height will look better because it will look more stock like. Look at the special edition rims or EX trim rims. Looks great
Now throw on some 17/18 with some low profile tires, and it'll look retarded.
But then it's somewhat subjective

I agree with sleepy, 15's on stock height look a lot better than 17's or something. I had 17s forever before I finally lowered my car and it looked like monster civic.
15s with stock sized tires doesn't look quite as good IMO, but the lower profile tire gives it almost a lowered look without actually lowering it lol.

15''s look great at any height!
Those look like a fairly aggressive off-set, so there might be some fitment issues.

^ Word. 16s offer better tire choices nowadays, however. 15s are going to be like 13s and 14s, soon. Specialty tires not stocked on shelves or econo, fuel saving tires.

Lol public education at its finest.
I love the lowered look, but I want to keep it at stock height.
