15's and 16's are both good sizes, but i would choose 15's FTW. What's an inch really? Don't ask your gf that question

I say 15's.

16's is about as high as I'll go, 17's+ are queer unless it's a car that's more of a "bling" factor than power type.

16's just look too big on a Civic

.

I run 16's on my GTI but its a lot larger of a car, they fit fine, on civics they look too big, 15's are fine....or you can always stay w/ the 14" steelies like me b/c 400 dollars for no power gains is useless to me

I had 17" Rims on my BMW 325i... looks good on a vehicle of that size:

On my Civic a 16" rim scales about the same to my eyes... a good 15" rim would like nice as well. I wouldn't put a 17" rim on my civic... the tire would be way too skinny.

Does the aspect ratio make the car faster/slower?In other words will the tires spin faster if its a 45 aspect ratio vs 50?

17's are weird, the style of rim has alot to do with how "big" it looks, some 17" rims appear to be bigger than others.

a propor ride height helps alot as well.

i like the 17's on your sol man

but overall, im a 15" wheel kinda guy
