Default Need to replace old tires, em2 03

Hi..

I got me old em2 03 LX and I have to replace the old original tires.. but I wish to get wheels and I dont want spend money in original tires and when I buy new wheel, spend money too in new tires again...

The original size is 15" , what size of wheel are good, I think 17" are very big and with bigger wheels the car can go slowly is the new wheel+tires is bigger than original wheel+tire.. so what size is good and which is good to have a good look?...
I have seem some pictures of honda civic in the forum and many of them look great... but are many of them 15 ,16 or 17?

Anyone one know where can I get good price in Miami?

PD: I am not sure about if this topic should be here or in the wheel tires secction, so If Im wrong, please move the topic..

Thanks

16's are the best looking on our cars. but its all personal preference. i like my 15's because its light and gets better gas mileage and acceleration. also have 18's for looks. They're heavy but its nice. so its all mostly up to you. just get the same diameter wheel+tire that's close to stock and you'll be fine

tires.com is a good place to buy cheap wheels and tires...along with tire rack but i think their wheel selection sucks and of course wheelnext.com and wheelmax.com are good wheel and tire packages website

If you click on my garage you can see my EM2 on 17's personally I think them with 205/45/17's look amazing on our cars, they fill the wheel well nicely. Granted you loose a few MPG's but if you get some nice light weight wheels you really won't notice.
As far as tires go I recommend TireRack.com or 1010tires.com.
