Im pretty sure your bolt pattern would be 4x100 but dont quote me on that... as for your offset im not sure either but I also bought Konig Heliums for my Integra 4 door and my offset is 40... I would recommend buying your wheels from JLBMotorsports since they have great prices and their nice guys and im sure they could help you with your questions. thats where I ordered my Konig Heliums and they were about $100 cheaper than the other place I was gonna buy them from.

Bolt Pattern: 4x100 (if the car is unmodified)

For 7" wide wheels:
Offset range: +48 - +32 (while using normal size tires) +25 (maybe, if using stretched tires)

I would get 15" or 16". Anything bigger will look ridiculous on the car.

I completely agree with him... All my friends were tryin to tell to me to go with 17"s or 18"s on my DB7 but I said no... one of my friends has a 98 Integra RS on 17"s and it looks weird... The rims look too big for the car... but IMO the rims arent good looking either... but hes one of those Ebay people that buys everything thing off of ebay...( like his $40 header) and when I told him how much I spent on my suspension he laughed in my face and told me I should have bought those Ebay slip on coilovers but I know better than that For some reason according to him I spend way too much on my car parts... Like the heliums I bought cost $450 without tires and he got his wheels for $400 with tires new... One day maybe he'll learn to listen to me but until then to each their own.

First, this is a board where you should type your posts in English. You're not text messaging on a cell phone so please don't type like you are, or no one is going to bother reading your posts. Especially since you say you don't want to "seem like a complete retard".

Now, can we go back a step?

Do you mean an Accord DX Sedan, or a Civic DX Sedan?
