Default Looking for Advice on Proper Rims for a 95 EX

First off, yes I did do a search, and no I didn't find anything.

So forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere, but I cannot find the answer.

Can someone please point me to a pic or site that would show me what the 'correct' rims are for a 95 EX? I just bought this Civic and the current wheels are nasty:



Also, is there a consensus as to the best place online to buy wheels? I wish there was a sticky that talked about rims for us n00bs. If there is I would appreciate a quick point in the right direction.

I think I am going to stick with 14s because the car came with some nice Tiger Paws on it, but I am also open to 15s.

Thanks in advance.

ahh, the steelies!!

You are looking for something with a 4x100 bolt pattern. Pretty much anything that says it will fit a Civic, will fit your car. You can go to tirerack.com and poke around there; a lot of their wheels are super ugly, but they give you a preview of how it will look on your car. Also a lot of people like Rota wheels, so check those out too. Look in the classifieds on this forum. And of course, ebay!

good luck and happy searching.

Those rims should fit but the tires might be a tad too big on a 95 (someone correct me if I am wrong). Plus you might be stepping on street sniper's toes hee hee

mxs he has the old fat fives......these are the new fat fives...
Yes been wondering about tire size myself. How much rim/rubber can be stuffed under a dropped civic? Stock 14s already rub on a full turn. Time for a camber kit too I guess.
dropped civic

You can drop it pretty low w/ 15s. I've got mine where it's just a little higher in the back to give it the 'aggresive look', most people don't really notice it till i point it out though, i'll post some pics later...

I need those centercaps. Mine still say Acura. Fat Fives rule. But yeah, 4x100 is what you are looking for.

If you like chrome, I have some chrome blade-type wheels with tires for cheap.

I found wheelmax.com to have some nice rims with tire packages for a price I feel is reasonable though when you go to there site a lot fo rims they sell you still have to phone in to buy, they aren't offered for online purchase yet. If you take a look, click on a "brand" name that appeals to you, it will show all the rims they have available phone/online order. You could prolly even push 16's depending on how low your drop is.

So what do you think of these:

5Zigen

And can you put in a Honda centercap on these? On rims in general?

Sorry for the ignorance, but I know NOTHING about rims.

<edit>

Also what do ppl think about these:

Honda OEM
