What Size Wheel, What Kind?

I am looking to get a set of wheels and Rubber for my 1990 Accord LX as soon as winter is up. I want to start looking now so I now what I want when the time comes. I got some pics of my car at... http://www.geocities.com/Big_Ernie/accord.html

I Do not want to drop the car at all due to the conditions of the roads/driveways that I have to travel on. I am thinking on either 15" or 16" wheels. I thought that I wanted 15" but I am not sure anymore. What do you all think? Remember I do not want ot lower the car! I also have a couple of wheels that I am looking at, they are...

1) http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Displ...2FMachined+Lip

2) http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Displ...Silver+Painted

3) http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Displ...Silver+Painted

I would probably use the following tire regardless of wheel type...

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....rtnum=045HR6H4

I was thinking the #3 Wheel becuase they are a good price, but they are really heavy (18lbs 15" and 20lbs 16") Then again, my whole car is a brick and I dont think that a few extra pounds will matter much. What do you all think?

I have seen 90 Accords with 17" Wheels and were not dropped and they have the "Monster Truck" look, I dont want that. I really would like to stay away from lowering my car at all.

id say go for #2 or 3, and if you dont mind paying more, get 17's. but then get bigger tires like 215/65/17 or something like that.
