Default What kind of OEM wheels could I get for a DX?

I was just wondering what kind of 4 bolt Honda wheels there are. I think I have a 15 inch wheel(what does the dx come with?). The wheel covers just look cheap and I don't want to spend a lot of money. What can I do? I saw wheels online and really like them. What are they and will they fit my civic?




Do you think these would look half decent spay painted black? Where could I get something like those?

My second option was to run on just the steelies(spray paint them black) or to spray paint the wheel covers. I don't want to do that, I feel it will still look bad.

I was going to post this on the Appearance / Cosmetic board, but thought you might know just a bit more about the actual wheels and what size I have at the moment than just a generic honda board, if you know what I mean.

those will fit your civic and i think they will look tight. all civics have the same lug pattern 4x100 unless its a ctr.

Nice, now what rims are those, if you know?
I have a feeling they are from an EX or Si, but can't find them when I search...

My friend has those on her stock '04 EX (civic, not accord).

They look decent as is, but if you spray them, they'll look heavy and cheep.
If you want black rims, why not just take the hubcaps off .
Anyway, it's all about preference.

Your DX shouldn't have 15's to my knowledge. When I bought my ex, it came with 14's. But those wheels will fit.

i wondered about posting this or not because i didn't want to seem like a *******, but since you want to poke fun at what i posted above, i will.



those are the accord wheels i was referring to stiking resemblence to the wheels he posted, i said 'if my memory serves me'. however, since now i took the time to look it up and look at the rims he posted a little bit better, and the picture of the accord rims i notice a slight difference and that the accord rims are 5 lug. anyway, my mistake.

it'd be nice if you could provide the year or generation of car they came from...

5th gen come with 13s (vx wheels are nice, lightweight)

6th gen come with 14s

7th gen come with 15s i think

that's what i've gathered from the few posts i've seen here and my experience.. if someone has precise info, please correct me

dont spray paint them any color youll regret it cause i did it to mine and i want them back to normal. those rims are soon going to be popular like the blades,meshes,si's,and all the other one's i forgot. just leave um like they are cause they are clean as hell already

i personally want to see how a set of these



would look on a 92-95

it says they're off the 05' EX model but my ex gf used to have the special edition and they came on those too

but like ekdriver707 said

dont paint them cause if you EVER want to sell them, no one will really want already painted rims
