Rims for 2000 honda civic si coupe

Hey guys I recentley bought 18" inch Hyper black 5zigen rx-6 wheels with falken Fk451 tires for my Black 2000 honda civic si coupe, and I now feel I have limited my rides capability. I want to replace those and get 17" inch 5zigen Black Racing Pro N-1's and I wanted to know if that is a good replacement, and if it is what kind of finish should i get, such as hyper black, broze, or silver, or the limited editon with the black spokes and silver lip with the red lug nuts and so on. I want lower my car in the future and I just don't think 18"s are the right look right now. Also if anyone knows a good place to sell used rims and tires let me know. *Peace*

did the 18's even fit right? 17's if you want looks. 16's for ok looks and better speed, 15's for *shrug* looks and best speed.

I really should take a picture of this Civic at my school. It's a 99-00 coupe that looks amazing with 15 inch rims and a drop.

17 for looks only?

I will tell you right now that I am not a jenious when it comes to cars and specs but I know I have seen hella fast civics with 17 inch rims. 15s, and 16s I think are just really too small, unless you drop the car like 2+ inches, and then yull scrape a lot.

imo 17 can look like over kill, 16's with low pro tires looks good with a drop. 14 and 15 with thicker tires also looks great to me.

16 on a drop possibly 17 if you want to sacrifice a little ride and handling. 15 was ideal though.
thats why it came that way.

Also I have a black 2000 honda civic si coupe with 18" 5zigen wheels that Im not really feelin at the moment, and they are only about 3 months old. And one more thing is their any difference between the the wheel sizes 16x7 and 16x7.5?

18" now that's too big if you ask me. 17" is ok, 16" is ideal. The Pro N1 w/polished lip is sick! get those for sure.
