You'd get more responses if you posed one relatively easy to understand question at a time. Just rambling on and on about nothing is an easy way to get the flame. I'm sure the spoons will "look" fine. It's more of a matter of personal preference. How do you think they look?

The Spoon wheels are a great performance upgrade, but if you're doing it just for looks, then why not just get a 16 inch set of flat black Rota's? And I wouldn't consider the Nitto Neo-Gen's. The Azenis are a good choice though.

The Azenis are an awesome buy, and handle very well for the money.

I have Spoon 16x7 and they look fine on the car.

Not too small at all.
These are my old 16's
I now have 15" spoons for track (which im selling, cause they don't clear my spoon calipers) and they look just fine as well.

Yes, I think that photo was w/OEM suspension.

By Mugens, do you mean the Lowdowns?

Here's a photo w/a lower than OEM suspension, if that helps:

Nope. It's a hybrid Spoon suspension that's no longer on the car. However, I felt it lowered the car about the same amount that the Lowdowns would have, so the picture might've been useful.

Here 16" Spoons are on my old Yellow ITR since no one offered up pics of that color yet.

I my opinion:

15" OEM wheels = good
16" Wheels = great
17"-20" or whatever for Integra and Civic = overkill, awful ride etc.

Of course this is a matter of opinion and I just prefer the 16x7 option.

So pick what you want and go for it!
