I was pricing new wheels and tires for my 1999 CRV, and the they told me
that I was better off buying a 15" size wheel with 60 series tires, this
they said would give me a slightly wider tire and slightly smaller O.D.
which would handle better. They said that tires wear faster if the wheel is
larger (16", 17").
Does anyone have any experience with a larger wheel size on their V?
I think the larger 16" or 17" would look better, I think the handling would
improve, but the ride would be stiffer.
Any comments would be helpful.

225/60 16"

I thought about that question before, and end up with 215x70x15 on
pairs of GoodYear Reggata 2 and am very happy with them. 215x65x15
also a good tire size if you want a bit better handling

Love your wheels, (16" Prelude) they fill the wells better than stock.
Where can I get these wheels? Are they still available even though the
Prelude is not
made anymore?

I forgot to include a very good source for parts... http://www.car-part.com
You should be able to find a set on there with no problem.
