Thanks, Sion, but I wasn't born yesterday and I know plenty about the affects of low-profile tires and how shocks work. In fact, I already have coil-over shocks with incredibly stiff springs and I love the way my car handles. The tires are actually 40-series, and have 3.38" sidewalls which is plenty. Right now I already run 15" wheels on 50-series Pirellis with 4" sidewalls. As far as spending money on wheels for a Civic, WTF is your point? I bought the car because I planned to keep it until I'm an old man, not so I could re-sell it once I got bored with it. Also, in a couple years--maybe less--I plan to move up to 18" wheels with 35 or 40-series tires under flared fenders.

I ended up going with choice #1, but in silver instead of black; they look much better.
