In my humble opinion, I don't like that style rim. However, if it works for you, stick with it. I must say that if you do stick with it, ditching the BMW center caps is a must. Also, I don't think you should pain them.

They're known as bottle caps. I've seen em on a heap of EF's. They look fine for a stock look.

nice! never seen them on any civic before. or knew they had a name. i saw them at the junk yard and found out they might fit so i tryed em out. they might be lighter than my steelies, they are 14x6 and the offset is perfect

Yeah, people have been putting the bottle caps on the 88-91 since the late 90's. I believe the offset is +35 IIRC.

Personally, they made a decent track/autox wheel because they were cheap and 6" wide...but other than that they were never really a great looking wheel on a Honda IMO.

Wanting to get a set of these for a while...and you can usually find either a set or a couple at junkyards so getting a 5th for a spare isn't difficult.

I had a set on my old 93 civic coupe. Fit great and the old school honda center caps that came on the stock steelies in the early 90s fit perfectly in the center if you want a honda center cap.

Pics not the greatest but you can kinda see the black center cap.
