Default Wheels and Tires for a 2000 Civic Si

Today at lunch when I went out to my car I noticed the front tire was stupid low. From the looks of it, it looks like it ended up splitting the sidewall due to it being so cold, being 5 years old, and just worn out. Anyway, here's the picture of my car.

It sits at the stock ride height which I don't plan on changing and the wheels were on the car when I got them. They're got to absolute crap so I figured I might as well just get a decent wheel/tire deal and call it a day. The wheels that are on it actually don't look that bad in my opinion and I'd even consider getting another set of them but I can't seem to find them anywhere. The brand of them are Nexo.

So, does anyone recommend what would look ok on my car at the stock ride height? I think a lot of wheels would look great if it was lowered but I'm not going to put money into it as I rather put it in the S2000. I've been looking on sites like WheelMax.com which is where I believe these wheels came from initially but no set has really caught my eye. I probably would also like to stick with 16" wheels and not go to 17's.


Any help would be appreciated!

If you're looking to save and keep the money for the S, whats wrong with going back down to 15"? They'll be much cheaper.

What's your budget for a wheel & tire set-up and are you looking to sell the wheels you currently have on there?

Clean EM1 btw, makes me miss mine.
