Default What stock Honda wheels bolt right on to a '94 HB Si?

Do HX wheels bolt right on to a '94 si? What (if any) stock 15" rims would bolt right on? I'm a cheap bastard and was thinking about dolling the old girl up a little. I read a bunch of rim threads but got a little cornfused...
Thank for any tips!

Any 4-bolt honda/acura wheel will bolt up. So yeah, HX wheels will bolt straight up with no problems; we have several members here with HX wheels.

Idk, I just assumed they kept the same 4x100 bolt pattern for all the 4-lug hubs. Then again, the accord has a freaking retarded front brake setup, so I wouldn't put it past Honda to have thrown a different bolt pattern on the hub, too.

If I'm not mistaken, a '94 Si should have the larger front brakes with ABS. I don't know how that would play out as far as the wheel fitment goes. There's always the possibility of small wheel spacers to give the wheels a little extra clearance. Actually, I'm going to read up on it and find out some real info lol


*edit:
Okay, did some reading. There's mixed opinions; from what I can tell, the wheels will fit just fine on '94 SIs without ABS. If the car has ABS, you may have to grind down part of the caliper bracket just a hair or use 5mm wheel spacers to clear the calipers. Also, apparently ABS was an option on the EG SIs. Maybe I was just spoiled having a fully loaded Ej1 complete with factory 4-wheel disc brakes

What exactly does "Bolt Pattern - Universal 4x100 and 4x114.3" mean?
