Default 15" rims

I was thinking about getting these http://www.machiii.net/images/wheels...ream%20blk.jpg in 15's but I wanted to know from the people that use 15" rims what tire size to use. I was just going to use the factory tires from the Si rims. I need some opinions.

Look like spoons. They only weigh 3.88 kg in a size 15. What color Si are you putting them on? Im going with some Desmond Regamaster EVO's in 16's which is the same wheel as the Spoon but with a silver finish. Im sure they will look tiiiiiite on your ride.

Blue Si with a carbon hood. I was going to get white. But a blue car with a black hood and white rims would look horrible. So I said blue car, black hood, and black rims would be great. I had TE-37's in gunmetal and it looked phat. And yes I sold them to get rid of my credit car debt.

Im running 205/50/15 wider tire gives you more of a contact pad and you dont have as much of a side wall.. They look good on a 6.5 inch wide rim.

You have a G6 Civic so the size should be 195/55/15. If it's a G5 or earlier then go with 195/50/15. If the wheel is 15X7 then I would go with 205/50/15 so you got more width to protect your wheel rim against curbs.

I've been supercareful with curbs, but it happens.
