Actually the wheels were also offered for the 96-98 model civic’s along with some Integra models instead of the steel wheels. I remember paying close to 1200 for those stupid wheels back in 1997 when I bought my brand new 98 EX sedan.  
Thanks deebo! Not the man though!  
Nick sorry I couldnt make it today. Hopefully I will be feeling this weekend and can swing by
