well since you have an LX, you would have 14' tires, so why would you want 14' rims? I say save up some more money and get quality rims, and quality tires in a different size.

Honestly, a 14" flat black rim is gonna look like a steelie, especially with a stock tire. The only reason I can see for keeping a 14" rim is for racing, when looks don't matter anyways. Try and see if you can just find someone selling a set of 15" Honda wheels with the right size tires (185/65/15) or wait until you need another set of tires then do it.

Yeah, like he said. Save up. It'll be more satisfying in the long run.

honestly why would you want a 14' rim anyway? Like boiler maker said, it is just going to look like a steelie. But to answer your question, any 14' rim will fit as long as it has the same width as the tire. Not very smart when it comes to rim witdth and sizes though.
