Um why would you want to put mini rims on a civic. It would be like putting 5lug bmw rims on an accord, you know there bmw rims, and they say it on it.??
Whatever floats you boat, besides they were free. Umm im not too much into minis, but if the bolt pattern is 4x100, 17in rims with low profile tires will work fine!!!

Enkei made similar wheels to the minilights - I had a set on my SiR when it came out from Japan. These are the best I can do for pics:

I've seen them a lot on JDM cars and am looking for a deep-dish set for my project '74 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R project.
Dunno how close they are to the original poster's wheels though

Yep, they're basically the same rims as ours.
Setanta - The pics don't show up, but I know the rims you're talking about, and thats exacltly why I went out of my way to find out if Mini wheels would fit. :)

ahhh those style rims, i know what he means now, i thought it was a different style but i might be thinkin of cooper S rims or something different,
those dont look 2 bad, what scared me was it looked like a chevy symbol on the center cap at a quick glance, i looked again and saw i was wrong thankfully
