What is you don't like about the look of the tires? Do you want a lower profile (shorter side wall) on the tire? If so, you probably should have gone to 17" or even 18" wheels so you could mount a lower profile tire and keep the same rolling circumferance. This is important to maintain a correct speedometer reading. If you put a low profile 16" tire on your new rims you will throw your speedo reading off, among other potential issues.
