Default Can you help me with wheels?

Ok, just looking for some opinions and pictures of the various wheels out there. I am shopping for a set of 15" or 16" wheels for my 1997 Civic EX (Color Red) (other sizes can be considered, but I don't want to have to worry about wheel fitment or drivability problems) . I was hoping people can post some pics of their Civics with their various wheel choices. The suspension is stock for now, but that will probably change as well at a later date. If you do post pics, please list the brand and model of your wheels. Just curious as to what would look best for my car (light wheels would be nice too!). Thanks in advance!

P.S. If you know of good places to buy wheels at great prices, let me know. Thanks!

red car....id say silver or gunmetal wheels

rota slipstreams, or racing hart c2's, not really my style but alot of people also like the polished lip, gunmetal spoke look and that'd probably work well on a red car.

I'd go with a set of 16x7" wheels with either a +40mm or +42mm offset, mated with a set of 205/45/16" tires. The color I'd personally go with is either black spokes with a polished lip or gold/bronze with a polished lip.

Check out www.importhookup.com for some prices on some of the more popular wheels out there.
