Why would you have any trouble fitting the wheel in the trunk. There's plenty of space for it. You don't think Honda would design the car such that you couldn't stow a flat tire, would you?BTW... I can totally see why you've been banned multiple times now. This is supposed to be a community to help people out. Your response was condescending and not at all helpful.
It does not fit.

And Elwood Blues has met his demise. 
For those that didn't know, the styrofoam tool holder with jack fits into the spare tire space and wheel and tire fit easily in the trunk standing up.

BAD? Not only is it not bad, it's good! Bent rims enhance handling by increasing road-feel and at-the-limit capabilities. They also warm up your suspension quicker when you set off due to the vibrations, so that you don't have to worry about waiting 5 or 10 minutes. Most people don't know this, but newer cars actually come with their rims pre-bent in order to realize these benefits. However, these newer cars also have an oscillating counter-balance that vibrates with the exact opposite frequency attached to the flywheel and cancels out the vibrations. Yours doesn't have this feature, but it's not a big deal if you can live with it.

One last word of advice from me... if you want to be taken seriously here, you should use your big boy words. Most of the people on this board are intelligent adults, and if they see a post with words like "noe" and "kar" and "sumthing", etc, then the ones with something useful to say probably won't even respond. Instead, you'll get responses like the ones from Elwood Blues and the one above from pie. Without knowing you, I'm guessing you're probably in your late teens or early twenties (since I have a cousin about that age and she uses the same type of lingo when she writes). I know it's probably acceptable amongst your peers and others your age, but in the "real world" it doesn't really fly. Know your audience. If you want to draw useful responses from intelligent people here, then you should use real words and proper spelling/grammar/punctuation as much as possible.
I'm not trying to dig at you... just trying to give some advice to make your stay here more productive. The crowd here is a bit different than what you might encounter at honda-tech.com or imports-get-me-chix.com or wherever. Although it seems like even the crowd here is degrading on a daily basis, too.
