15" are a good size wheel for a ED / EF chasis witha 195/50/15 or if you wanted to go even lower they arekinda hard to find and expencive but ive seee some 195/45/15 and they looked prety good but your speedo will eb off and you will loose minor top end and your car will scream more on the highway... minor though

they are 14's, they arent measures from lip to lip, they are measures by the tires' lip's diameter (or the inside of the rim, if you will)

Why would you measure a rim when you can read the tire size.

Those are 14s...

Rust free .

Anyways, as everyone else said. 15's or 14's "fit" the best in our ED/EF's. Your car looks really low though. You might have some rubbing issues with even 15's? I recommend some nice 15's .

16's are actaully better, if u have the power, they give u the ability to have a slightly higher top end then 15's just because of the physics of a 15" tire vs a 16" tire. but they are more expensive. but for ur case, id stick with 15's, the tire is already tucked underneath the fender on 14's, so i bet 16's will be rubbing

I have had several Crx's and many different wheel size's and i have found the i perfer the 15x7 with 205/50/15. but thats just what i think. If your looking for a well made, inexpensive 15 inch wheel, i would go with a set of Rota's i have had a couple sets and they make a decent repelica wheel, many choices and good prices.

what up fellow new yorker i'm in orange county also. i have some 15" konigs on my rex now with some 205/50's, personally i think they're too heavy, i'd much rather have some 14" Hx wheels with 195/50R14's if i could find some. or even 185/55's. when i went from 13's to the 15's it made an already torqueless motor have even less torque. if you get 15"'s make sure they're really light. bump it

My car is lowered 2 inches with the omni power coilovers. We just put 16inch rotas on it with a 205-50 yokohama tire. She doesnt rub at all. Or I also have my 90 si wheels for sale if you want to go that way. I have a decent pic on my bio page!
