Default 16s

I think 16s are perfect but they shouldn't weigh any more than about 16.5 lbs each.

I just wanted to add that I prefer 15" but the only reasons for this are better fitment (narrower tires = less rubbing or chance of rubbing) and better ride quality (more sidewall).

I would say 15" for most any wheel except for TE-37's or Grids, which only look right in 16" on a Civic.

Well, the grids come in 15x6.5 and 16x7 (also, 17x7.5, but that doesn't really pertain to the discussion); the half-inch won't make much of a difference as far as tire sizes go. If you have a 7" wide wheel and want narrower tires, get 195's and call it a day; they'll fit just as well as the 205's are are a little narrower (kind of defeats the purpose of wider wheels, but whatever).

OP, if you want a slightly more narrow tire width, get 195/50-16 tires; they're almost half an inch narrower than the 205/45's.


Also, I want to point out that the tire width measurement is not the tread width. The section width measurement you always see is the tire at its widest point, which is not necessarily the tread. With different manufacturers, a 195mm-wide tire could actually have the same tread width as a 205mm-wide tire, depending on construction. Keep that in mind.

My vote is sports bronze. You can't go wrong with bronze wheels on a black car
