16 or 17 inch wheels

I've been doing a lot of searching around on the internet for some new wheels for my 2003 Civic EX sedan (still rolling on the 15 inch steelies) and am trying to get an idea of what a 16 inch and 17 inch wheel looks like on the 7th gen Civic (I've searched the forums and most people don't post the size of the wheel or tire.) The body is satin silver so I'm hoping to get some wheels that will either be silver or a gloss black. I'm not planning to take it to the drag strip or the race track, just a daily driver with better looking wheels.

If you guys could post a pic of your ride with 16's/17's that would be awesome, the web visualizers kind of suck lol. If you don't want to post a pic leave an opinion/suggestion, I just want to be 100% on what to buy before I commit.. If I go with 16's I'll be wrapping them with 205/55R16 or 215/55R16 and 17's will be 215/45R17 or 205/45R17

Thanks for the upload! I probably won't have it that low but plan on putting on an Eibach pro kit later down the line.

This is perfect, exactly what I'm looking for in a wheel/tire combo. Not too flashy and room for comfort on the tires.

I've checked out a couple posts on wheels though, is there a specific one to look for?
