I think 16s are the perfect balance between looks and performance.

16"s of course look better, but you'll feel the lag off the launch. I think 15's are optimal for performance. If you have a civic that's is. I mean a civic with under like 200 hp.

Unless you have BIG money. Drag racing a honda is retarded...

And if you want to be **** about wheel size 15 inch wheels will always have tires that have soft sidewall's which causes flex and understeer.

16's are a moot point.

17's are perfect for grip although you will slightly lose some acceleration.

good point about the sidewalls, but regardless of drag or track, you're gonna need some power to spin bigger wheels.

14 inch for EA-EF-DA

15 inch for EG-EJ-EK-EM1-DC2

16 inch for EM2-ES

17 inch for EP3-DC5

these are typical sizes i would prefer for each chassis code because the thinner the tire, the more risks of it curbing. but it also depends on what kind of wheel you want.
