Wheels.............hmmmmmmm?

Need some input. I have a set of Brand new Motegi MR7s w/Sumitomo HTR 205/40/16, bought them for my old 93 Civic. Never installed them. Then I go and buy an 02 EX coupe. I know for a fact that I will have huge fender gap, even though I dropped it about an inch. Heres my question should I sell the wheels and get 17s and all new rubber or should I just keep em and run a bigger tire one em. I was thinking 215/50/16. If I sell them how much can I expect to get for them, they are brand new never even installed, not even just to see how they will look. Does any one have any pics of 16s on 215/50 rubber. Thanks. All input appreciated.

16s are so small. not worth it to buy new rubber. just sell and get 17s or 18s

Thanks for the input. 215/50/16 is the same diameter as our stock wheels, I think that wouldnt look that bad. I would have to see about the cost of getting 17's plus all new rubber. Any pics of wheels with 16s?

Alot of people on this site have 16s.
Just don't get a thick *** rubber!! It looks nasty like that.
If you can, just drop the car more!!

16's on a hatch looks perfect to me... but on a bigger car like a coupe or sedan it looks ugly IMO... sell the ***** and get bigger ones... try ebay, i'm sure there should be some people insterested, especially since its brand new rubber on there...

18z is the only way to go. Our cars dont go fast, so you dont need the racing/performance wheelz. I like the way the coupe looks with the 18z, sedanz on the other hand gotta go ballz out the 19z.
