Default 15s or 16s???

I've settled on getting some Rota C10s in the spring for my 00 Ex but i am torn about wether to get 15s or 16s. Im not going to be tracking it so weight isnt that much of an issue. 00 civic Si rims (what i currently have) are 18 lbs, 15" c10s are about 13 lbs and the 16s are about 17 lbs. I do plan on lowering it on coilovers, maybe a 1.5-2 inch drop. I keep looking at pictures but i keep going back and forth!! any suggestions?

It's all personal preference really. I personally like 15's. Not to mention tires are cheaper for 15's lol.

i like 15s personally. u wont have to buy tires and wheels if u go with 15s. that is, if the ones on your current wheels are worth keeping...

No I definately will need to buy new tires. My current ones are worn bad from the previous owner and the new wheels will be wider. Im thinkin 15s will be alright as long as i can find the Rota Circuit 10s in flat black.
