Thanks! I think Honda (Enkei) did a great job designing them.
They do make a 5 lug version, off of an 04-05 EP3. Might be able to find them new online but most likely would have to find a used set. I'm going to need to start looking for winter wheels soon.

Yeah, the front still is sunk in a bit but surprised how flush the rears are. I wanted to run 17x8 wheels in the summer but now I'm second guessing that. Not sure how to calculate the optimum offset and width for our cars.
6.5 wide seems to work in the rear well without running major camber just probably need 5 - 10mm spacers for the front.
Nat - Always have a soft spot for your ride though... super clean IMO

Thanks, yours is looking super clean too!
With your alignment specs set to zero you should be able to measure with a ruler how far the wheel needs to come out to make it flush. Now if you get a .5" wider wheel with the same offset that should add an aditional .25" to the inside and .25" to the outside of how far it comes out from the hub. At least that is my understanding
The front does sit in further so it will at least need a spacer unless you buy to different offset wheels.

New to civicforums.com & i just thought i post my project/daily driver here with the crew "EM2". I have a 2001 Honda Civic Ex
I got this car last week and I've already done the side markers. as you can see they are not the original Si side markers. I was given these 03 BMW side makers and decided to throw them on.
lmk what you think. they do sit flesh with the body style of the car. I have also picked up KSPORT lowing springs that i will throwing on as soon as i get a chance. I will keep you guys posted with any new mods as they come. Thanks!.
