The Si comes standard with 15" rims. Any 4x100 Honda wheel will fit fine
as
their offsets are pretty standard. 15" wheels were available as options
on Gen II integras, options on Gen III base and LS, and standard
on GS-R, SE/GS models. Used sets usually go for $300-$500 for
the wheels. Or, as pointed out above, you can look for a fire sale
on aftermarket wheels (note though: honda OEM wheels are very
light. 15" wheels being 14-16 lbs typically. You don't see aftermarket
wheels for $50-$100 a pop being that light)

Type R wheels are 5 lug, so no go there. Ludes with 4 lugs use
a 4x112.X pattern and will *not* fit.

205/50-15 will work fine and is what I would start out with. I have
competed
against a GS-R driver who did run 225s up front...full lock rubbing
was noticable. This was K tires...but as a R driver already pointed out,

the G-Forces fit as well.
