low pros give you less grip (argue all you want. its true) at the expense of that handling response
on top of that if you are not a great driver (and i doubt very many people here are) you will want a taller sidewall for the handling forgiveness anyway
when a low profile tire breaks loose, it does so faster with less warning
taller sidewalls, due to the flex give you more time to correct
the sidewall flex is also what gives you better grip
205/50R15 is the size i am going for in my project CRX
i could give a rats a$$ about show.. the car is gonna be all go, if it performs any function other than making the car handle or go faster, it wont be there
and the ONLY reason why the wheels are gonna be 15s is b/c i am planning a fastbrakes big brake upgrade (if i went with the integra brakes, i would be donning 13x7s with 205/60R13 or 205/55R13 tires)
besides, this is purely subjective but anything larger than a 15" looks HORRIBLE on a CRX anyway, lowered or not.. the wheels (they are called wheels, not rims) are proportionately too big for the car
