Default 17 inch wheels VS. suspension

Hi im looking to get some mags but i want the best for its performance. I know 17 inch wheels looks nice but my car is stock ( all the way) and 17 inch wheels to me may sound a bit too big. On the other hand, my dilema is that if i get 17 inch i'll just drop a little and if i get 16 (maybe even 15 inch wheels ) i could lower my car to the ground...... any suggestions ?
Thx y'all .
4ever

And another thing, if u have some wheels to sell let me know... (with pics plz )

Don't get 17's. They are too big. Get some nice 16's and a drop. Depending on how much you would like to spend, you can choose between proggressive springs, coilovers, shocks, or shocks/springs.

If you want more info, just ask.

yeah, what he said... get 16's but there's no reason to slam your car

I never told him to slam it...but hes gonna want a drop. That's what his question was about. No need to go 3 inches, especially because then you will have camber issues, but a good 1.75 - 2.0 drop will be a nice touch to new 16 inch wheels.

17's are fine, as long as they are light. Whoever says 17's are too big are just wannabe "JDM" bandwagon riders...

Remeber these OEM Honda cars all have 17's

02 JDM Civic Type R
02 JDM Integra Type R
02 USDM Honda Factory Performance wheels are 17's

17's are fine
