what color is your car? Is it your daily driver? And what mods do you have?
After asking all that I say 16's. The larger the better.:D

I say 15's. Don't really like those wheels that much anymore though. Kinda got old to me.
My wheels are on sale right now good deal.

I have 16 inch OZ F1 CUP wheels, mostly because I got a good deal on this forum. I really wanted 15s, because tires are harder to find and more expensive in 16.

if you're going for looks get some 16's. if it's straight line performance you're after, go with 15's. either in the lightest wheel you can a$$ord, imho.

205/45/16 will be just right. And I would do a lightweight 16" rim for just the right balance between looks and performance. As long as you get lighter rims than the OEM rims, your straight line performance will suffer little while your cornering performance will go up a notch. My 2 cents.

16's eliminate any probs with stuffing big brakes under them.

215/45/16 azenis..... why would you stick with 205 at 16"s? might as well stuck with the 15's.

215/45/16's will throw the speedo off some

205/45/16's are the best bet for a classic

Where in TN are you. I am in Knoxville and have been thinking about a pair of Maglites 15" for drag slicks. Are you selling 2 or 4 and are they 15" or 17"??? How much & do they have tires?

Azenis are only available in 215/45/16 as far as I know... 205/45s aren't available.

I'd go with 205/50/15s on Subzeros bro... Closer to original height, lighter, & cheaper to replace tires.

Slipstreams have JDM Civic written all over them. :D

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO very true...they are spoon knockoffs, i would hate to have some tool walk up to me and ask why i have spoon rims on my car...they sure do look good but thats the only reason i refuse to get them

the reason im leaning towards 16s is because my brother has 2 16" azenis he JUST got and his motor blew so he said hell give them to me since im getting new rims anyways
