I would put the 16's on if you are doing any autocross, go fast, etc, i think smaller diameter wheels give you more predictable handling, and believe it or not, give you more of your engines hp, larger rims are cool though as they look better, on my commuter that im buying, a 1993 civic 2dr, im going to put 17's or 18's just for the looks, and its auto so im not trying to race, lol, but on my old 2002 honda civic 4dr, i had 15's so yea id go with those 16's

^ YES! The lighter the wheel the better for performance. Less unsprung weight gets you off the line quicker, and will allow for better braking. Good looking rims! I like the bronze.

16's, the ligher your suspension has to move the better your suspension will work
