Nice, I like but here in NY I have to get a lower size. I'm thinking of these:

I can't decide whether to get them 16's or 17's. There are alot potholes here.

for your 7th gen ray, i'd go with 17's...if you are worried about potholes, go with a different size tire with a higher sidewall...so instead of goin 205/40/17, go with 215/45/17. that'll affect how much u can drop ur car of course...but honestly, on a 7th gen civic anything less than 17" rims looks WAY too small...it's just cuz the coupes look long and the wells are larger, so small rims are bad in this case.

some people are saying anything past 17 is dumb...it depends on the gen civic. 17" imo look the best on 6th gens (not hatches though)...16" or smaller are better on hatches. 7th gen civics have larger wells and have larger sized stock tires as well. Usually w/ith 7th gens people get 18" rims. 19" i think are slightly too big on 7th gens imo though, in the same way that sometimes 18" on 6th gens are too large. but it's all personal preference. go with what u want

oh, and my friend has a 5th gen civic with 18". it looks pretty good if u do it right. he has coilover sleeves, so he could drop it to what he wanted, but his tires just messed up all the inner fender lining. u really wont be able to drop it much if u get 18" rims. if u do drop it, u'll prolly have to cut or roll the fender linings.
