Quick question of your opinion guys. i have a NHBP ep with a totally stock body, no HFP lips whatsoever. i'm gonna be dropped on progress springs. and considering 16" wheels... will these look too big? should i go 15? oh and i'm thinking of goin with enkei RPF1s or simple and cheap with rota slips. Your thoughts and opinions will really help. Thanks! :mbiggrin:

no it will look perfectly fine, 04 and 05s come stock with 16" wheels with 205 55 16 tires and it looks good

I went from 18's to 17's to 16...so far i like the 16's since they are lighter but for looks, I would go for 17's...

16s are perfect for the EP. Here is my 2005 Civic Si without any lips/body kit dropped 2 inches or so on 16 inch Slipstreams with 205/55/16 tires. Here are some pictures for reference:

the ep's wheel wells are too big for 15's. although 18's fit, 17 is as large as i would go. 16's, only if i was going to the track or my dream wheels only came in 16's.

I think 16's fit the car perfectly. I had 17's and didn't like them. Plus you can get a bit more sidewall with the 16's which will make the ride better.

You will find that the greater majority of people here have 16's.

Of the two rims you posted, I would personally save my money and get the RPF1's.
