Yeah, TE-37-style wheels usually look awkward when they're smaller than 16", so I'm saying go with 16x7's (205/45-16 tires), +40mm or higher offset.

I was slammed (tucking all four tires) with 17x7's (205/40-17), +45mm offset, and didn't rub any more than anyone else that low (anyone as low or lower than I was that claims they don't rub with wider-than-stock wheels is flat-out lying. I don't know why some people can't just admit their tires rub).

I'd stick with the Grids over the Slips. Slips are on a million Civics. Plus Grids will re-sale higher than the Slips if you ever get tired of them. Slips are a dime a dozen in my area so you never see them sell for more than $300 max.

I love slips! But I myself would got 15" rims. I have 17's sitting in my garage (look at sig), they looked sweet since they fill in the fender wells real nice but they are just too big, especially for a Honda. They make the car look too high up too. Once I have my springs with a 2.5" drop I'll be putting on 15" Rota's, either Slips, gt3s, or subzeros. Otherwise I'll just get a set of 14" hx rims, they kinda look too small though. Lowered cars on 15s look good imo.

Roll out your fenders and get some neg camber goin and slam the car on some Sportmax's. They look awesome with their width when done right.
