Icon2 Help buying new rims and tires please?!?!

I currently have a '91 Civic Si (stored away during the winter). It has Samba green metallic paint with several white decals.

Right now I have 17" white Motegi MR-7 rims with 205/40/17 Yokohama Parada Spec-2 tires.

I replaced my suspension recently and I am looking to downsize and get 16s instead. Just want a little bit more cushion for a better ride but try to keep the handling. I like the rims I have now and would like to get something similar to them (white, 7spoke, 6-9 will work) as well as some better tires.

Any suggestions?

as for rim styles, choose what YOU like but if you want more cushion and protection for your rims you can use 195/45-16

Yeah get things that YOU like, not what others like. Just browse around and look at wheels that you like.

You can also go to 15" wheels with 195/50-15 for even more protection and ride comfort.

The best tire size depends on the car they're going on, not just on the wheel. If you would like to tell us what kind of car you have (year, model, version), we can answer your question.
