For images, you should have checked here: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-acura-28/post-your-rota-wheels-take-7-no-haters-fake-vs-real-discussion-no-no-2009900/

For tire sizes, it'd be easier to give you an answer knowing the exact year/model of the car they're going on.

I'll assume you have a DX for this...

205/40/16's are going to be the closest tire size to the original equipment, thus the safest tire size to choose for 16" wheels.

That all depends on the width & offset of the Slipstreams you are looking at. Either way, decreasing tire width to a 195/45/16 is still within safe tire size ranges.

so 195/45/16 would be optimal?

No, 205/40/16 would be optimal. 195/45/16 would be if you were concerned with the tires clearing the fenders. You didn't mention what size Rota's they were, so I was just guessing that they were the standard 16x7 +45. But, I have no idea what size they are, since there are quite a few offered.

16x6.5 4x100 +45
16x6.5 4x100 +40
16x6.5 4x100 +26
16x7 4x100 +40
16x7 4x100 +0
16x7 4x100 +45
16x8 4x100 +20
16x8 4x100 +48
16x8 4x100 +40
16x8 4x100 +34
