Default Which Rims for my 1995 4dr. Civic?

i own a white 1995 4dr Civic, i recently lowered it w/ Neuspeed springs 1.8" in the front and 1.6" in the rear. Now i am wanting to put rims on it and im debating on 16" rims or 17"s. I pretty much have the ones i want picked out (Rota Cicuit 10's Black) but i could use a second opinon. Please help me out.

i like rotas. i have 16in bronze circuit 8's. I think it looks tight.
in my opinion, black wheel don't work very well with white cars. I think black is nice with a red car, sometimes silver cars as well.

you're setup will look cool though, the black will match your door handles, moldings, and mirrors if you havn't already painted them.

i think that 16's will look good too, im going to get gloss black i think because my side molding, door handles, and mirros are all black and i like the match.

IMO black looks good on most white cars. I would go 8s in gun metal with the polish lip.

I'd say go with 16's. I have 17s on my car now and kinda wish I went a little smaller. I really like the new rota boost and would def. get that if I had the money. I would post a pic of my car with 17 inch konig tantrums but I guess I can't from my computer. I dont have the pics on the web.

I agree, as you can see, i have the same car. Funny thing, i have small *** rims and i get compliments on them all the time. My friend has the same car in white with 18s, and i run circles around him all day in handling cause they are too chunky. Get some 16s, make sure the styling is right and they'll look really good, trust me.
