Why would you go smaller? I personally think it would look way better with less tire and bigger rims.

it doesn't look that bad, i wanna get some 18's, and later on get some 16's that will fit under big brakes with some sticky *** tire if i feel like driving like a maniac.

I got 15's so 16's dont sound that bad to me. Not a real big fan of big *** rims. 17's are the biggest I would go.

16" VX8 = nahhh

but 15-16" Rotas or some sort of performance racing wheels = Yeah that's fine

17-19" show rims = fine... since the civic isn't even fast no *real* need for racing wheels w/ the exception of the turbo people...

couldn't have said it any better than that... 16's on a hatch actually looks good though...

17's for show and 16's or 15's if your going to race or do auto crossing (its really fun but cost a grip)

16's aren't too bad, i'm not a big fan of getting bigger rims and i was planning on getting 17's because of how the 7thgens are bigger, but i ended up with 16 inch rota slipstreams. 16's give it a more race look, but its up to you

I love the big rims, they so clean esp. with the low pro tires aka the 215/35/18 Im sportin rite now. Im not a big fan of the 16z since the look almost stock size, but if I were to go with em, gotta go Rota's without doubt. Simple yet clean and yeah man. That's all I gotta say.
