When i tried to put them on the car, the studs barely broke the surface so as I couldnt even get one turn of the lug nut onto it. the back of the wheel is like the equivalent of a wheel spacer, but it is part of the wheel. Wish i had yours :P

I had the same issue in the beginning. Did you try pushing on the wheel while pushing slightly up as well, I did that and it felt like the wheel seated onto the hub a little better allowing me to get the lugs on. It could have been easier though.

The way it was worded before, it sounded like the hubs dont match up 100% and may cause issues in the future.

I will give it another try later, I hope you are right. Wheels might be diff though, cause I just noticed that yours are 15'' and mine are 14''. Mine came off of an 88 bmw e-30

I like your honda center cap better than the BBS one, Ill prolly look for some tonight.

I have a set from the CRX wheels I bought, but the honda caps have to be slightly grinded down to fit properly, or the plastic tabs on the inside will crack. I'll see if I can get a pic of what I am talking about. The guy before me just shoved them in there and cracked them a little.

Yours are 14's? I am interested on seeing what is engraved around the hub on yours. I will snap a pic of mine in a minute.

I cant read the numbers cause the paint is pretty thick, but they do have BBS stamped on them. Thats just the primer, Im gonna use wheel paint. I have been too lazy to continue with the project the past week.
