Default Donor vehicle for 15" rims?

Hi guys,

I need to replace my tires, and figured this is a perfect opportunity to move up to 15" rims. I don't want to spend a bunch of money on aftermarket rims just so some fool with a tire iron can steal them.

I'm thinking about going to the salvage yard and yoinking the rims off of another Honda.

What vehicles have 15" rims with the right bolt pattern for my '91 Si hatch?

lots of old volkswagens have 4x100 patterns, but some wont fit cause the centers are too small to clear the honda centers......this is what a mechanic told me, and he works primarily on old hondas and volkswagens. i think a set of the focus wheels that kinda look like 99-00 si wheels would look sweet.

Other way around, VWs have larger hubs than Hondas. You will be able to use any 15" vw wheel, but it wont be hubcentric like using a honda wheel will.

88-91 Prelude &lt;Newer is 4x114, or 5 lug&gt;
Mazda MX3 wheels will fit
Miata wheels that are 4 lug will fit with a TINY bit of work on the hub area to clear the civic's larger hub centers.
90-98 Sentra wheels will fit
Older Ford Escort wheels will fit... up to mid 90's years.
Lots of 90's model VW wheels will fit.

honda also sells factory rims at the dealerships. I dunno how much they are but you might want to look into it.
I have (95)GSR's they are in abundance so they generally go cheap.
look in the classified section for GSR's. sometimes ppl sell em in there.

sweet - great list guys

I had no idea there would be so many to choose from.

in terms of weight or function, are any better than the others? I'm going to bring this list to the junk yard tomorrow and see what I can come up with ...

thanks
