i love them wheels. I was looking at them a couple weeks ago for my 04. Go with 17s and a good drop. 16s might still leave too much wheel gap. I had 17s on my car. And it looked good

IMO 16" is the largest rim I would get. Why? Because 17" will be too stiff of a ride and they will just look too big on a civic. Get some 16" and lower it like 2". Would look alot cleaner then 17"

Go with 16s... 17s look way too big and take alot away from your ride quality. Just search around the site, you'll see that anything bigger than 16' aren't too popular with anyone around here... I think Kfock is the only member I've heard recommend 17s, but her car is a show car. Basically if your into all show and no go, get 17's...

AS I saw Nike once say...
