Well the one you selected is 4x100, so no, that particular one won't fit. 5x114.3 is the civic bolt pattern.

I personally don't like it but it's personal choice.

Also it's a 15" wheel you selected which wont clear your Si brakes.

Rim is not my cup of tea, but if you like it get it in the proper size

There are cast wheels and forged wheels.

Cast wheels are wheels that are made by pouring molten metal into a cast.

Wheels that are forged means it was a solid slug of metal forged with intense heat and pressure into the shape of the wheel. Most forged wheels are 2-3 piece.

Forging produces better mechanical properties, but doesn't assure a "lighter, better" wheel. The Advan RG is a cast wheel, and a favorite because of it's light weight. Differences in material and the quality of the actual production process are some of the other issues.

But back to the topic...

Asking questions on what parts you should get based pure on aesthetics is no different than teenage girls asking each other which of their handbags is "cutest".

You should first get informed on what you're doing. If your spending this much money and time into something, you should at least have an informed opinion before you go around eager to spend money. It doesn't matter if it's wheels, a car, or raising llamas or something. Once you get informed, you won't care what other people's opinions are.
