Well my friend got 17"s for about $4000 TT (which is $633.98 US) so I'd like to be within that general range.

I think 17's are a lil too big on your car, 16's at the most would be the way to go. I'm a 15's kinda guy myself.

Do you plan on lowering it at all?
15" on a lowered 92-95 cvic looks perfect in my opinion.
14" and 16" also look good but 17" is too big I think.

I was thinking 16" myself with low profile tyres & no plans of lowering

15x7 in the +15 :hehe:

You pick your color.

Car would definately need a mild drop though.

Are the roads bad in your area? I would consider lowering if possible, not just for the look, but it literally makes the car handling difference like night and day. It was the most fun modification I ever did to my car and you enjoy the benefits every second. :thumb:

Even a mild drop, not slammed, will be an improvement.

I know of the lowering benefits but I guess the local roads are one of the reasons why I never planned on lowering.

Some of my personal options/choices:

I like those first ones you posted, They aren't common around here and they look really good.

Just stay away from 17's.. :thumb:

For your car color, I'd suggest matte black or gunmetal colored rims..

agreed, stay well clear of 17's. If you can lower i'd say do, it makes such a difference and a set of 15's will sit so nicely under the arches
