the smaller the rims the better!

17's make the car feel slower

I believe 16's are the way to go when buying rims. Less chance of rubbing and not bumpy at all! Just remember get the 45 series tires and there will b no rubbing

Just look around on the boards - tons of people are always selling wheels that fit civics/tegs. Its a very common offset/bolt pattern.
