17's or 16's?
Just as the title says! I had a civic before with 16's and never had a problem and they worked well as far as being proportionate to the car. What size are most CL folks rolling with?

I have 17's on mine. They come factory with 16's so if you are going to go with 16's might as well leave them stock in my opinion

19's are ok but you have to watch every crack\pothole out there or your buying a rim or tire... Just put Nitto NeoGen's on my ride last month and a tire is already bad.

What color rims go best with the Sundance Gold color? I'm thinking either black or gunmetal.
