Default give me a suggestion on new wheels.

First of all, wanted to say hello to all. This is my first post here. I've been searching around this forum for about 2 weeks now.
Anyhow, I have a 03 LX. Here is the pic of it. I'm looking for some after market wheels. After read thru some post here, I decided go with 17' ( I won't drop down any), so hope the rubbing wont be an issue ( is there?). second, as you can see my car, the color is burgundy, should i go with finish black/metal or silver? what do you guys think? Thanks all, I'll come back with more question (body kit, ect...)

humm..i dont really have any pics of a car that color, but heres 2 red cars..the silver looks really nice, or..im not really a big fan of crome on civic (only sometimes)..but crome on red looks pretty pimp, some nice crome 5 stars would look really nice on your color and NO you wont have any rubbing issues ..i have 17s on a lowerd car and im not close to rubbing

Get 16 inch Rotas...........Trust me after you get 17s youll wish you got 16s........you can fit a thicker tire on there and it makes a smoother ride.

I was thinking that too, I use my vehicle alot on freeway, travel to school and work. What's tire size i should get to get "smooth" drive? do you have a website that sell Rotas with tires? (bundle), I checked wheelsmax.com and few other places but didnt see the Rotas brand. Thanks

Rotas are expensive, but with rims you get what you pay for. Google Rota wheels and ull see pics. If I buy rims again i wouldnt get 17s id get 16s. Tire size is 205 45ZR16

I like the design of Kosei rims, they look good on civics. Check them out at the tirerack.com , you'll be glad you did.
