15X6" steelies ? What car?
Anyone know where I can source out some 15X6" steelies? Looking for the blackout/hubcap type. I know the EP SI has 15X4" steelies but any 6 or 7 inchers out there in a 4x100? I dont care what car they will come from, as long as they are cheap and will fit my civic 
Thanks for any help guys.

i seriously doubt there are any 4" wide wheels out there. maybe the festiva with its 12" rim. the ep3 hatches dont come with steelies. most 15" steelies you will find are about 6" wide at least

I don't think that means 4 inches wide. I can't think of a car with 15x6 steel wheels in a 4x100 bolt pattern.

They won't fit over the Civic's hub. Civic wheels have a 56.1 mm center bore...

There are two problems with those wheels.
1. They are not hubcentric. In other words, the center bore of the wheel (that's the big hole in the very middle) is not designed to just fit perfectly around the part of the hub that protrudes around the axle nut. So only the lugs center the wheel. This can cause vibrations, which many people have with lugcentric wheels (although many others). This is why many wheel sellers explicitly recommend against using such wheels except with winter tires.
2. At $45 for 15x6 with 4x100 lug pattern, they're more expensive than you can get brand new Honda brand steel wheels for. For example, you can look up wheels for a 2004 Honda Civic on the website for San Leandro Honda (4 door LX manual trans), go to the section for CHASSIS and WHEEL DISKS, and you will see that they sell the stock black 15x6 steel wheels (part number 42700-S5D-A21) for $40.53 each. They're even less - $37.52 - from Majestic Honda. EDIT - I CHANGED THE PART NUMBER FROM PREVIOUSLY, SORRY
Granted, Discount Tire offers free shipping, which probably makes the price similar - but I would sure rather use Honda wheels designed with the proper center bore to fit over the hub, than to use wheels with a center bore that's too big and might vibrate.

good points, I didn't have a chance to lookup the price of the OEM wheels. I personally never had any vibration problems with those wheels. All-in-all, it comes down to personal preference.
