ur wheels are 14"x5". 14" is the height of the wheel and 5" is the width. the set in the link u posted are 14"x6", same height as ur current wheels but an inch wider. as long as u get either 185/65R14 or 195/65R14tires, u wont have any rubbing issues.

^definatly, you're bolt pattern is 4x100, those wheels don't even come in that pattern. And as a word of advise, a set of wheels that cheap probably aren't going to be worth it, look around on craigslist or ebay for a cheap set of Honda OEM wheels with tires, or if you're lucky like I was you could even find a good after market set. www.jlbmotorsports.com has good prices too, good luck!
