RE: which rims??
I have a coupe I just ordered 16's, if you wanna slam it to the ground later, I would suggest listening to some of these guys who have experience with it. 15's might be a better idea, and they will be cheaper, but the down side is there might be less of a selection.

RE: which rims??
if youre gonna be a lowroller, then get some 15s.
if youre gonna race then get something bigger.
i think you should get some 15 inch rota torques or circuit 8s. btw, some dood on here is selling his 15 inch LS meshies, which look pretty good on EGs.

RE: which rims??
I've got 14x6 D3s with 195/60 tires, and they look kind of like small donutson my stock '00 sedan. They're still much nicer than the stock steelies with the plastic covers, and while the handling isnoticeably improved because of my choice in tires, they ride very similar to stock. 15s or 16s come stock on some Civic models over the years, and they generally look much nicer...IMO. They also tend to handle better without riding too harsh or costing too much more. 17s and larger are probably better left to those who race or drive only on smooth and level surfaces. The larger the diameter of the rim,generally the lower the profile of the tire you'll be running. The lower the profile of the tire, thebetter the handling will generally be (due to less sidewall roll/deflection), and the harsher the ride andthe more subjct to damage from road hazards they'll be. Larger rims also tend to cost more. They generally weigh more as well, but the lower profile tires you'd be using with them will probably weigh less than the higher profile tires used with smaller rims, offsetting the weight difference a bit.
