Default Won some rims that don't fit!

Sure you have all heard this question before. I won some rims about a month ago, I wanna put them on my 94 Civic DX but the bolt patterns don't line up. Am I out of luck??

Is there too many openings in the rim or do they just not fit at all?

sell them and get something that fits. Of course you will find adapters, but with them your car will look stupid...having the wheels sticking out...

i am assuming that you mean they are 5 bolt pattern and not 4, well in that case this is the prime time to do a 5 lug conversion

You should probably ebay them or sell them localy and then use that money to buy what you want and what will fit.
