Default Which wheels?

Well I have decided to get some wheels for my civic. I cant decide on which ones to get. Here are my options:

1.) LS mesh wheels. 15 inch (i think) Good tires





2.) Fat Fives 15 inch (I think thats what they are) Good tires



3.) Enkei 17 inch wheels. Good tires EDIT: tire size is 225/45-17

I really like the 17's, but everyone tells me they are too big for my honda. So do you think that these are too big? My car is lowered about 1.5 inches, so when I hit a bump will the tire hit the top of my fender? And which do you think would look best on my 93 ex?

It's not that their too big to fit, it's that you can only put so much rubber on them. You are sacrificing ride quality when you go with 17's. I like the meshies

The LS wheels will look very nice, but if you really do like the 17's I'd say you should save up and buy some tires that aren't as wide, such as 205/45's

Ok well here is an update: ok i didnt get the bronze rims but I did pick up a nice set of Motegi MR7's. They are 15 inch, gunmetal color, 7 spoke. Just google them to see what they look like.
