all of them have the right offset(or close enough) and bolt pattern...but the centers need to be bored out to fit the Honda hubs(56.2mm).

This one is 10lbs:

davens is right, you have to bore out the hub centric hole about 1.5-2mm to fit over our Honda hubs. I know the early ones up to 96 or so have the correct 4x100 bolt pattern and similar offset but I'm not sure if all the later ones do. If you can find a tiny ridge reamer for working on motorcycles or lawnmowers that goes down that small, you can use it to gradually ream out the hole till it fits. I've never done it myself but I've heard of it being done so...no guarantees, batteries not included, your mileage may vary, yadda yadda yadda

i have an 89 civic which i put 01 mazda miata rims on. offset is perfect, except just like the previous guyz, you have to enlarge the center a little, with a reamer or something.

Those are from '94-97...there's three differnt kinds that look the same but weigh like a pound difference. Here's a thorough breakdown: http://miata.net/faq/wheel_weights.html#weight

I would prefer Civic HX wheels, but they're hard to find while Miata wheels grow on trees. You can get a set of alloys('90-93)w/decent tires starting under $150.

They look somewhat like 7 spoke mini-versions of RX-7 wheels...

I'll rock em on a stock car for some decent looking wheels, fo sho.
