Default Wheel size dilema. . .

I have a 93 Civic CX that has full suspension completed. . .I was wondering if I should put my 16" Enkei RF1's on, or should I sell these to upgrade to 17" TMW RX's. If I do keep the 16's, I need new tires. . .what do you recommend? Advice needed please!

If you want go, then keep the 16's. If you want show, then get the 17's.

stick with 16s, tire wise, I would recommend some kumhu 712 if you're just looking for some cheap performance tires, they're good for the price you pay, as for size go with 205 45R16.

personally, i would go with 17's. that is what i did. from 16's to 17's. works fine. just a few issues in u-turns. but i dont feel like i am loosing much horsepower otherwise. the only time i change out the rims is down at the tracks.

Get the ones you like for your ride. I am not a fan of the 204/40 tires because there is not a big sidewall there. I know lots of guys who are rollling on bent wheels. A 15 gives you a nice sidewall yet does not drain any power from the engine llike a 17 will. Let each person get what makes them happy!
