Default [CiviC EX] Rim offset

Hi,

I am looking to buy used rims.
Anyone have an idea what the "standard" wheel offsets are on the
1999 Civic EX coupe are?
How will I know the rims are the right fit for the offset?

Any other tips on buying used rims are highly appreciated.
Thanks!

What do you mean?? You want more or less offset?

Buying used rims....
Tires on...
Look for bubbles in tire (indicates a possible pothole hit and bent rim)
look for scrub marks on rim
Look for hammer marks on the back of the rim (pounding out the bends)
check the lug nut holes
check the back of the rim where it mounts up

Tires off rim
No residue on rim (from fix a flat [:'(] )
feel the rim lips, your hands will detect bends better then your eyes
support the rim and tap it with a rubber mallet. A good rim will ring, a cracked rim will thud
Same as above ^
