Anyone have side shots of your Civic with any of these tires?

195/55/15
205/50/15
205/45/16

The Tirerack page where you can see how different wheels look on your car doesn't show the tire outline too well. I'm trying to see if there is a big difference between those tires/wheels, particularly the last two.

Thanks!

195/55/R15's, but oh well, it gets the job done just as well.

Wow, this is making my decision even harder! The difference in aspect ratio between 50 and 45-series doesn't look strikingly different. The wheels I'd like to get (Royal Black/polished lip) are either 12 lbs (15s) or 14.5 lbs (16s). 16s are about $50 more a set + tires are about $120 more a set for a total of $170.

...tough decision....
