Hello! I know I have not been seen for a while, even though I have been checking posts everyday... I been working 40 hours and then working on a new website project with 4 friends thats going to be crazy awesome, so thats another 4 hours aday...... so basicly I have no life anymore....
But I found some rims I wanna buy, or thinking of buying, they are 16s, are 16s to small for a stock civic with stock shocks and everything? Will there be a large wheel base gab that looks horrible? Should I get 17s? or are tires cheeper and better for 16s? Well any feed back is great, the price of the 16" rims i found with very little scuff are 250$, and he paid 400$ its a local friend, so im not going to get ripped. any comments are welcome  -stePHen

it is all personal prefrence. i ran a set of 17's as my first set of aftermarket wheels. i prefer the look of a light colored 15" wheel with a badass set of tires. the gap will suck as long as you have a stock suspension. all black wheels look best in 16" imo. being dark, they look smaller. plus the ride is much much better the smaller wheel you ride on.
 15"s are perfect on a civic IMO.

16's
I own a set of 16's and the 17's i am currently running... the 17's with a fat tire look awesome but then again my car looks funny with anything less than 16's |

I also prefer 15's, but in your case get 16's.
