Looking nice! I'm thinking a set powder coated gunmetal grey would look good on silver or darker colored models.

Where does one go to get the centers bored, and what is the exact amount to be bored?

Got a link to where you purchased? Nice find!

FWIW, years ago the tire store I bought wheels from sent them out for bore enlarging saying is was a common practice and "a routine task" for any machine shop. I'd just call around to different machine shops in your area and ask if they can do it.

Hopefully a reply with the exact dimension will follow but I simply left my spare wheel so the machine shop could get the measurement.

Cheers

i could find you a place in long island, keep googling it, i kept checking acura forums because apparently thoes have odd hub center sizes.

Anyone have any idea about the best size tires to use? wider the better in my opinion.
