IMO 17's are for coupes and only look good with ground kits.

No, 17s aren't too big. I personally wouldn't put 17s on my civic but nope, not too big.

IMO 17's are too big for any honda/acura (excluding SUV/Van/Sedans/NSX)
16's is the way to go, hek go with 15's

I'd have to disagree. S2000 looks great with 17's

It's funny how just a couple years ago 17's was what everyone wanted, and even funnier is that other car enthusiasts that drive something other than a Honda go for bigger wheels. IMO 17's look good on 4 doors and Coupe's, but with the hatches it depends on what kind of wheels you buy.

depends alot on the wheel and the car, but 17's on some EG's look really good.
