Default What size rims are best for the CRX 15 or 16

Hey everyone I am looking at some rims for the CRX. The rex is daily driven and it is also used for weekend mountain runs. What size rims do you guys run and why. Thanks

I don't really think that anyone is going to say 16's maybe a person here and there, I say 15's they look better on a car the size of the CRX and then weight comes into play. If you do go with 16's I have tires for sale.

16 inch rims w00t w00t!!!

I have 16's on my CRX...but I needed new tires and the rims just happened to come with the tires, hehehe. I do agree that tire selection does suck. I just bought a set and of the 10 or so brand names I only liked the yokohama AVS ES100 and Parada spec 2.

EDIT: as far as driveability goes it is on GCs with Koni Yellows. 450lb spring rate up front and 650 in the back. When I first got the suspension put in and my tires still had 80% tread, the car handled like a go-cart. Doing 90 degree turns while going 30 mph is pretty fun.

15's and 14's inch hx's and if you wanna get real pimp get roll 14's hxs in the front and then 13 vx's in the rear best drag setup for the track imo but were just talking about wheels for dd i say 15's are you best bet

You only need wheels big enough to clear your brakes.
I have 15" Koseis on my CRX over EX/Prelude/Accord Wagon Setup sorry no pics
And I have 14" Hxes on my Beater over EX brakes. EX Brakes under HX wheels, and pics:

13's are too small. All you can fit ares stock 9.5" rotors.
