15" or 16"?

[weepaolo]

Can't decide on wether to get 15 or 16" alloys. Was looking at getting 16's but was told tyre prices are pretty high compared to tyres for 15" alloys. Only worry I have about 15" alloys is that they will look to small as my civic ain't lowered and I aint planning on lowering it. Will the 15's look good or should i pay more and go for a set of 16's?

anyone?

I don't think anyone can answer this for you, you've already identified the problems - 16 inch wheels are more expensive to find tyres for and 15 inch wheels may look a little small in the arch.

In my opinion, I'd rather keep with 15's, they don't look too small in the arch, but that's just my own view.

Indeed go with the 15's pal, they'll be fine

16s are heavier, give worse handling, worse ride, are more expensive, more expensive tyres and if you haven't lowered, 16" will look worse than 15".

In summary, go for 15".

lightweight 15's

small in the arch but nice quick rotations with them

I agree, 15's unless your brakes won't allow..
