Help finding new rims
Hi everyone,
I have a 1991 Civic Si HB. Kind of a show car but slowly getting the performance side done. I have Samba green metallic paint with several white decals.
I currently have 17" white Motegi MR-7 rims with 205/40/17 Yokohama Parada Spec-2 tires. I am looking to downsize my rims, looking at 16" to keep the look still showy by not going too small. I like the style of the MR7s but unfortunately they don't make them anymore. I need some help finding rims that are somewhat similar to that style in white.
Also, I was looking at getting 205/45/16 tires. I don't have a problem with my tires rubbing now so I'm hoping that size isn't too big. Advice?

205/45-16 is too big. Get either 205/40-16, or 195/45-16. And don't get the crappy old Paradas. If you want a longer-lasting summer tire, Yokohama's far superior S.drive comes in 195/45-16. If you want the best grip in a summer tire and you don't care about rapid treadwear or high price, the Falken Azenis RT-615K comes in 205/40-16.

I don't know what your budget is but both Work XT7 and Gramlights 57S has 7 spoke design. I have/had them both. Good looking, light weight, strong wheels and comes in 16 inch.
