Well I want it to be black finished.. but im just open to any styles.. you know? You sorta know what you want but it never hurts for people to introduce new things.. And idk how good 15's would look on a civic i dont want small rims.. no lol.. but like one of the members before said 17s would be a lil monstrous so I figured i could go down 1 inch and maybe still keep somewhat of low profile tires on there.. ya know? I don't want to lower the car either so thats another factor i dont want big old tires on there with stock heigh id rather have a lil bigger of a rim.. lol im really open to any rims.. show me some you like.. and ill check them out

^ I love the retracks 
If you're going to lower your Civic (which, if you ever want it to look "right", you will), 15s will look just fine. 16s are pushing it IMO, but will still work.
Drag and Rota are other companies to check out, and if you like the old school mesh look, check this thread out, and pull names from there

EDIT: And you can never go wrong with the Acura LS meshies

17s fit ek wheel well perfectly as long as the tires are low profile, but that's my opinion of course
can't go wrong with rota grid, very simple look

Check out www.jlbmotorsports.com
They have a huge selection of wheels and will beat almost any tire shop's price on tires that they can mount and balance.
I just bought some 15-lb 16-inch Konig Brite Lites for my Mazda but there are lots of blacks, whites, and even other colors like blue to chose from. The weights aren't listed in their site but if you call, they'll tell you what it is.
The reason why I picked 16s is because there are few super high performance tires for 15 inch wheels. Most of the high-speed-rated tires are V, Z, or W-rated and the choices are many in 16+ sizes. Many of the 15s I've seen are T, S, or H-rated and their sidewalls are softer (steering response suffers).

x2 on jlbmotorsports
their name is drflickner on honda-tech and i've ordered most of our wheels form them including konig runaways, konig britelite, and rota grids at great prices. they also carry ksport coils for good prices too, which is where we ordered one for an s2k and one for a civic

Not saying to NOT buy 16s, just saying that's not a good reason to go with 16s.....16s won't look bad, especially if you aren't going to drop your civic, or if you are going to drop it like an 1"
