Thanks, freebeard, for this question. It forced me to more rigorously answer the question of center bores. And I discovered that the Miata and Prius wheels I had been listing are 54.1 center bore, while the 1992-2000 Civics were 56.1mm. If I understand correctly that means the Civic wheels can safely be installed on the Miata or Prius (which ring spacer/adapters) but the Miata and Prius wheels cannot be installed on the Civics. The Mini's are a perfect fit. And there are a slew of VW wheels with 57.1 center bores.

Sorry I was mistaken before about a couple of those wheels... perhaps goes to show you don't know what you don't know, always be skeptical, check and recheck specs.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
