Default Best size rim?

Hey. im in the market for rims. What's the best size that overall looks good on the rsx? I had 18" rims that came w/ the car when i got it, but im a speed freak and 18" rims slow down the acceleration, especially when the rims alone weighed 21lbs a peice...

so what size do you guys think looks good? i like 16 cuz they're lighter, but on the rsx body if i get 16's w/ low pro's it may look weird. Does anyone have any good pictures to help me out? also whats the best offset?

i have roughly 800-900 to spend on rims/tires/shipping... so im sorta in trouble w/ this one. haha. but if anyone recomends any sites w/ real good prices packages. Weight is sorta a big deal to me. plus gunmetal w/ polish lip

many people would agree that 17s look perfect on an rsx, but for some odd reason, i prefer 16s. i have no idea why.

but yeah, going low profile with 16s on an rsx would most likely look funky. instead of downsizing, you could probably just go with stock sizes. at least, that's what i'm doing :/
