Yep, not easy to find. Keep your eyes open, they do show up from time to time, and not always at mad prices. I may be buying a bulk lot of EB Civic parts sometime soonish; I don't think there are any wheels in there, but if there are I'll let you know.

Drilling is sweet you just have to find mags with the right style of hub.

you can get a set 15's for a city [with 4 holes only][NOT mutistud] and get them drilled.[so that there is 8 holes] that way you can put turbo city disc's on front [if you have them] [plus you only have to get 2 wheels drilled for the back] about $50 a hole or
you can get blank wheels from japan and get them drilled for your eb
upgrade the booster

go hard or go home
in a t2/civic

you can get wheels with no holes from o.s and get them drilled for eb
civic disc's that you can on prelube disc's with 200sx twin pot stopper's
upgrade the booster and you got one eb civic that can go hard and still stop

You sure can. best way IMHO would be to import some wagon knuckles from the states or maybe from aussie. I have only ever seen 1 1st gen wagon here.

With wagon knuckles you just press in EN1 4x100 hubs and then your choices for mags become practically endless (and cheap).

If you get the hubs pressed out of the knuckles before they are shipped it isn't tooo bad, I think the one's that colza got were about $100USD shipping + whatever you pay for wagon knuckles.

Has this been in the infobase?
so if I get my wagon drum's on the back [press them to 4x100]
I can get whatever wheel's I want.
has someone else done this?

OK you seem a bit confused.

You get 1st gen wagon FRONT knuckles, the bit the hub sits in and the shock bolts in. You press out the old 4x120 hubs and press in (with new bearings) the hubs from an EN1 civic. These hubs are pretty much identical except for having 4x100 stud pattern.

The other benifit of having wagon knuckles on the front is you can bolt on a huge variety of brakes, 91 Si civic front brakes, 88 Si accord front brakes etc, without the need for calliper spacers or adaptors.

As for the rear you take the drum off, drive out the existing studs and drill 4 new holes at 100mm PCD, then drive the studs back through the new holes. To do it well you really need to build up a bit of weld where you drill the new holes because its on an angle so the stud doesnt sit nicely, when you take it apart you will see what the issue is.

To drill them accurately at 100mm get someone to chuck it in a lathe and scribe a 100mm dia circle on the outer face of the drum, then divide this into exactly 4 parts.

As this is a city turbo forum and not a 1st gen civic forum it isn't covered in the infobase. However if you go to w[url]ww.1stgencivic.org[/url] and search on the forums there is a lot of information regarding this swap.
