ive got 16" circuit8s, i like the 16" but i think a bigger offset would have been better (they rub sometimes)

i would recommend them. I have 15 inch black rotas on my 99 with a 2 inch drop and it looks clean to me.


So the answer to your question imo would be to get 15's

15x7 steel grey. i would stick with 15's. 16's would be a tad bit on the large side

Most popular sizes on here are 205/45/16 tire on 16x7 wheels OR 205/50/15 on 15x6.5 wheels. IMO a 16 inch wheel looks a little better, but you'll get a smoother ride on a 15inch wheel.

I would personally get only 15 inch wheels for any civic. To keep it lookin clean and not ricy... 15 inch slipstreams look very nice on any type or year honda!! Good Choice if you go with themm...

I like the 16"s on coupes. I think 15"s look too small.

The Slipstreams have been the **** for the last five years in my "hood".
They are still the **** in my opinion.... But everyone and there mom has them.
I'd buy them for sure if they weren't so damn-commin. If you're the first guy to get them in your area, buy them for sure.

I had both 15s and 16s. I like the 16s better on 205/40/16 tires.
