16's on a CRX look really nice, but if you're gonna do any kind of performance driving, don't get anything bigger than 15's. If performance is not a concern, you don't need to worry about light-weight or anything, so just get some nice looking 16's.

If you're looking for something that will improve performance, find a light-weight set of 15's. SpeedMasters (good prices, generic design), Rota (nice wheels, little more expensive) and SSR (very very expensive) are options.

For a teal Rex, a set of bronze, black or gunmetal wheels would look excellent, I think.

I've always been a fan of mix-and-matched stock alloy wheels. GS-R rims come in a few different styles by years, 92-93 14" six spoke, 94-95 15" five spoke, etc. If you want slipstreams, just buy them and forget about the other guys, it's your car.

yea i'm not sure what i want, i really wanted slips. . .

then i liked the attacks but they only come in 15" and 17" and i really want a 16 x 6.5- 7 size wheel...

i wanted a set of 99 si's but they just aren't wide enough,...

keep the ideas coming guys

Very well said:thumbup:

Set your car up the way you want, that's what makes it your car. But yea, since we all agree, the slipstreams do look really nice. That's what I want for my own crx.

actually that's not true. The stock 14-inch CRX and Civic alloy wheels weigh in at a porky 16-17 pounds, roughly. They may be alloy, but if you look at them, they're really bulky in construction.
