    ^ How thick are those adapters? Do you need to install wheel studs to use them? I think the Aspire swap may have been cheaper and you end with better brakes. Let us know if they work well.

        the adapters are 7/8 thick, already have studs and lug nuts on them and with drilled rotors and upgraded pads seem to be quite a bit better already. The aftermarket wheels sit about 2 inches wider now and have more meat on the ground.

                Yeah, Civic VX wheels do look good. What's the tires size on those? The sidewall looks very tall.

                              How do you guys who have Honda VX wheels mount them?

                              Do you use hubcentric rings?

                              Do you use the stock lugbolts?

                              Any particular method of accurate mounting to avoid the shakes?
