In addition to the 4x100 bolt pattern, the thing you have to pay attention to is the size of the center bore (the hole in the middle of the wheel). Hondas tend to be larger than a lot of other cars that use a 4x100 lug pattern.
Most of the BMW mesh wheels are usually 5-lug, but if you really want that look, you could also find a set of BBS wheels from a Miata. They made them in 14" size for the '92 Special Edition and '93 Limited Edition, and in a 15" size for the '95 M Edition. You'd need to have a machine shop enlarge the center bore to the Honda size, but they're about the proper offset you'd want. Unfortunately, they're in pretty high demand, and command a hefty price tag. Figure $800+ for a rough set of four without tires.

That's just for the BBS mesh style wheels. You can pick up early Miata "daisy" wheels (they almost look like Minilites) for about $100 a set. Even the less desireable '94-'97 7-spokes can be had inexpensively, and even in their heaviest form, are still only about 14lbs each.

oh really? i will have to look into that i totally forgot about those. will the size of the center bore of the 7 spoke miata wheels be an issue? or will i have to get a machine shop to enlarge it?
