Auto X's would look hott even tho they are only 15s just make sure you have a minimum of a 1 finger gap between the tires with some low pros it'll look good.

In my opinion, the rota subzeros are the nicest for the 4th gens. haven't seen any 5th's with them though, cheap and come in many differant colors.

get some Volk CE29n's in eaither Bronze or old school alloy color. They weigh about 11lbs each for the 16's. Find some used or if you got the cash get them brand spankin new. Worth every penny of the 1600 bucks.

Getting lowpro's on a smaller wheel than stock would throw off your speedo like a ************.

Without a doubt I would go with the Rota Circuit 10s in Full Royal Sports Bronze. They look pimp as **** on red 5th gens, and they are light, both in weight and on the wallet.

Can be seen here(Better pics)

Can be purchased here(Better prices)

those auto-x's are so damn ugly...just get some te-37's in bronze or even the rota knock offs of the te-37's in bronze.

No, 15's on a prelude look stupid. They are too small for the cars dimensions. You look like youre running on 4 spare tires.
