NEED OPINION ON WHICH WHEELS AND TIRES TO GET.
I cant decide on which wheels to buy or tires. I like Rota wheels but i want some thing thats easy to clean, lightweight, nothing too expensive. Dont know which color of rims to get. Tires im not sure what size are good for 15" or 16". Anyways tell me your opinion, here are some pics of my car:

Get silver or gunmetal. Nice and classy, without looking crappy or ricey.

Start with tire size. With 15" wheels (get 15x6 or 15x6.5), you can get 195/55-15 or 205/50-15. With 16" wheels (get 16x7), you can get 205/45-16 or 215/45-16.
If you only drive around Atlanta, then you can get away with summer tires, rather than all-season tires. (Just stay home when you get one of those ice storms!) But if you drive up north or into the mountains in the winter, you may need all-season tires.
Assuming you can use summer tires (they're really designed for moderate to warm temperatures, and rain too, just not for snow or extreme cold), then read this previous post. It describes the best 15" summer tires for the money, depending on what you're looking for in the way of performance, price, treadlife, etc. You'll find that what it says is pretty much true of 16" summer tires, too, but the prices will be slightly different. Let us know if you have any questions after reading that post.

Those are 5 lug.
I find it hard to choose the right color wheels for a dark green car, so I'd suggest looking around in the integra threads in the appearance and cosmetics section.
