yes, they fit. you can even get VX rims, which are the same rims, only in 13" and they will fit.
negative.
hx will not fit on a ex. the rear has no problems but for the front. it rubs on the caliper. you can either get a grinder and shave off a few mm or just buy wheel spacers.

I had hx in bronze but they came painted that way. they where painted on and never had any problems with chipping

stil tryin to decide what color im gonna paint mine....i think white would only look good if it were the same color as the car...my gf thinks that somewhere in between bronze and gold would look good...and im thinking i wont clear coat them so that its a flat color (unless i do white)

hx's will NOT fit on an ex unless you get spacers in the front or grind the caliper bracket down on the front. i think SI's have the same or bigger brakes up front than the ex's so it would be a NO on that one 2. i dont know about tegs

So i was searching on Honda-tech and i've never seen polished HX's till yesterday....now i cant decided...gold or polished? polished sounds like a b***h and a half to do well

edit:
and is it possible to move the wheel weights without taking the tires off, i'm at work and cant look at mine at the moment

mine are black now with a polished lip and im thinkin of goin fully polished but its gonna be a b***h. it was a pain in the ass to do the lip on my hx's. you can pull the wheel weights off with a pair of pliers and next time you get them ballenced get the stick on weights inside the wheel

the green civic is actually really sick ... he painted the centers where he couldnt polish gunmetal.

ok, i know that it would reduce the braking efficiency of the car, but ignore that. is it possible to switch a smaller civic brake set into an si in order to get a set of those sick polished hx's on? i can't imagine that anyone has done it. it doesn't really make sense unless u wanna fit ur 14's on. i was just curious.

and i see that somehow an integra got them to fit. i wonder wut size brakes they have.

for the 8 millionth time, you grind down the caliper.
