I'm not saying to get this particular wheel for your car, but get a wheel that has a similar design to it. Notice how the spokes of the wheel go all the way to the edge of the rim. This gives the illusion that the wheel looks bigger than it actually is.

With some of the wheels that you were showing, they had a lip and the spokes didn't go all the way to the edge of the rim making it look smaller.



These are the same size wheels, but notice how the first wheel 'looks' bigger than the second wheel?

Others have already mentioned the other adavantages of having a 16" wheel (tire choice, availability, pricing, ride comfort, etc.).

Personally, I like the look of a 16" wheel with a polished lip on a lowered civic coupe. 15" wheels looks good on hatches (especially when it's really low).
