What other"Junkyard Swap "Rim fit civics

I know civics have 4X100mm bolt patterns.

Anyone know what other rims I could scower junkyards for would bolt up to our 4 x 100 pattern?

I think older mesh BMW rims work. Is the offset different? Does it matter? And what does the code JL mean stamped on the inside of some rims (like my g/f's mazda 323).

Thanks fellas

Ford escort rims, saturn 4 bolt rims... junkyards have cross reference books... be sure to match up both hub size and bolt pattern. Also get lugcentric rims.

FWIW, I know the following swaps work:

BMW E30 14" bottlecap rims & BBS weave wheels - Both are ET35 offset and are hubcentric.

VW 14" rims are also 4 x100 hubcentric and proper offset.

Mazda 14" rims off early Miatas are also good candidates.

Peace and good luck...
