Default Del Sol wheel fitment

Hey HT, i need help. Right now i have 205/40r16 wheels (weigh about 15 lbs each) and they are way to small for the wheel wells in my del sol. Theres two options now, get 17 inch rims (probly sparco at 18 lbs each, or maybe the more expensive o.z. at 15 lbs each) with the same sixe tire, but then that would be 3 lbs heavier. Or keep the 16 inch rims and get bigger tires, but the handleing wont be as good. These are two things that concern me, but a change has to be done as i dont like the way it looks. The car has been lowered. Thanks alot for your help in advance.

If you're doing it for looks, go with what looks best. Don't understand the need to ask the question if it's about personal preference. Sounds like performance is not very high up on your list.

I never understood the need for big wheels unless your racing your Civic...

It's a preference. You aren't supposed to understand it. Need is not a factor when it comes to appearance.
