stock "bolt pattern" on 2000 ex? looking to upgrade to 15 inch, need info to start looking..
 
I meant bolt pattern, not rim size, sorry.

I checked the manual, searched, went to tire-rack.com and cant find what I am looking for.

its not for performance, I just don't care for the tiny 14 inch toy wheels that are on it now.

I just need whatever info is necessary to make sure the rims I buy will fit.

Thanks.

edit: a decent place to buy them from too if you feel like mentioning one.

I guess what I am looking for is the bolt pattern, right?

4 x 100 ?

4x100

Tire Rack shows the bolt pattern. if you search wheels by vehicle then select a wheel it will show the bolt pattern. Make sure you get a decent set. Most wheels are really heavy. Some Rotas are lightweight and pretty subtle. Other wheels like BBS, SSR etc are very expensive.

cool, thanks jers, alpha.

I hate to be a noob, but I am also impatient; they can go hand in hand when seeking information sometimes.

They have the best prices on rotas and are also a sponsor on here I always liked the Jmags and the Jspecials

You may need to shop used. Rota is generally the first choice for budget minded Honda wheel purchases, and all of their stuff is at or over the $400 mark without tires.

I bought my Mini Cooper wheels used with "almost" brand new tires for $550 shipped. I've seen used OEM Honda wheel sets go for as low as $300 with usable (but not "good" per se) tires. Figure Rotas and Konigs to fall somewhere between those two on the used market.

right on.

It seems 16'' seems to be a more common size than 15''.. is this preferable for some reason?

It depends. A lot of people prefer 16's because they fill out the wheel well more than 15's. Most of the hard core performance minded enthusiasts stay with 15's as they're usually lighter and less expensive while still having outstanding tire options (225/45/15 FTW).
