how low? if its dumped 16's will be an issue...

i prefer 15's personally, but why not be different...although gold rotas are hardly that...either way.

I had the same controversy myself..well sorta. I think if you got Rota GT3s, it would look better in 16 inch, with 205/45-16 tire, of course. Although, I do love the 15" Si wheels.

past civics up until 2000 should have 15's in my opinion(unless your rockn' the big brake kit of course), 2001 and up- 16+ in. wheels.

15s are too small, go with 16s.
