16s or 17s would look tiny on a sedan. get 18s or 19s. they end up making the sedan look a lot nicer.

well since youre going for show, 18"s would work. motegs are alright, too heavy in opinion... but like you said it's all show, so don't worry about the "go".

18" wheels should be a minimum requirement on 7th gen. Civics because the fenders are so big...Since your car is a "show-car"...you should definitely opt for 19" wheels with a nice drop...

...

You know what I've never seen on a Civic (or for a non-exotic Honda/Acura) is a staggered wheel and tire set up...it'll make the car look very aggressive...

you should consider going with 18 x 7 or 7.5 wheels in the front with 205s or 215s tires and 18 x 8 or 8.5 wheels in the back with 225s or 235s if you can do it...it'll probably require shaving of the inner lip and rolling fender as a minimum (since I'm sure you're gonna lower it)...

Since your car is for show, definetely go with 18s or 19s. My 4door are running on 17s and it looks small. Though i wouldnt go any bigger then 17s, as the current ones are already killing the power. 18s will look really nice..they will fill the monster fender gaps on our car
