Default 15-16's on a coupe?

i've been wanting 17" rims for my civic for the longest time now, but recently ive been seeing a lot of cars with smaller rims, like 15'-16's. but this is usually on HB's. what do you think of like 16's on a coupe?

I'm running 16's. I had 14's and 17's before. 16's seem to be the biggest to go with keeping the best ride comfort.

Konig Helium Redline editions would look sick on a white coupe imo. Especially if you want some red in your wheels http://jlbmotorsports.com/rims/konig-list.html

my 17"s have a super roguh ride, especially with lowering springs. If i could take any, i'd have 16"s. Best balance of looks and ride comfort. 15"s just look too small IMO

I love my 18" rims but I have bent one of them 3 times because the roads around here are horrible and there isn't much tire to obsorb the shock of hitting a pothole. I ordered some 16" rims last week and they are going on pretty soon after they get shipped to me. I like the white on white though, my car used to be like that.

hmmm, interesting. i'm thinking that im gonna get some 16's then, but i almost want to get some 15's just cuz they are so freaking cheap. and about the white on white, i dont know, i was thinking about it. but i think white on white is just too much. i personally want a lot of contrast. thats why i want the black housing heads and tails, and the CF hood, cuz that would really add a lot fo contrast to the clean white.
