I agree with them. The problem with 17" rims is that they don't make tires small enough for your car. The smallest common 17" size is 205/40-17, which is the right diameter for an Integra but too big for a pre-'96 Civic. Don't go larger than 16". With 16" rims, you can get 205/40-16 tires and it will be just right. (Or, get 15" with 195/50-15.)

Yes, the nice thing about 14" and 15" wheels is that there are a lot of stock wheels from Civics and Integras so you can get used sets for cheap.
