I've decided to go with 16x7.5s, based on this thread:

http://www.ephatch.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40239

So the big question now is which ones to get. Since we've got 4-100 bolts, my options in this wheel size are really limited. I'm leaning towards the Kosei K1 Racing (http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/DisplayWheel.jsp?wheelMake=Kosei&wheelModel=K1+Racing&wheelFinish=Silver+Painted)s in Silver (Anthracite is discontinued - damn!) since I have a Satin Silver EP. I'm not crazy about the color but I am not really can't find much better, especially for the price on 'em. So, anyone have any suggestions?

your gonna have a hard time finding 16x7.5.. try 16x7
and if u want 215/45/16 tires there hard to find in that size, and expensive, $200/tire

I am 98% committed to 7.5 because of the advantages at the track. And I already know which tires... Azenis 215/45ZR16 for under $100 a rubber (http://www.vulcantire.com/azenis_t.htm).

Civicvtec1ps, I love that setup!!

The 215 Azenis are a tremendously grippy tire for $100, and you wont feel bad replacing them every 12K. Its been proven the Azenis tire will "expand with the wheel", some guys even run 8" or 9" wheels with 205 azenis on older civics because they "grow"

PS: K1's are one of the few choices in the cast category, and a well-known and respected wheel among autocrossers.

Makes it hella easier to stick on the K1s. Thanks man.

You never answered my question in the other thread, would I want 17x7.5" for the 225 Azenis then? Would they rub?

GLW said his 225 Azenis did rub, but it also will depend on your ride hieght, offset, and camber.
