Well my stock tires are almost down to the indicators, so I'll finally be buying tires for my new rims and putting them on very soon. Tonight I decided to stick one on there just for the hell of it to see what it looked like, and I noticed that the little pilot hole thingy in the middle is too large for the lip on the hub, thus centering is done solely by the lugnuts. If I remember correctly it's not really that safe to be driving around like that, so is there someplace I can get those little adapters to stick in there and make the hole smaller??

Here's a few pics...

Anybody know where I can get those little guys? I know I've seen them before, just don't know where to get them

They're MSR 113's, and I got them from Whalen Tire (www.whalentire.com). I checked their website and didn't find anything. I'll keep looking around though, somebody's gotta have them

Try calling Whalen Tire or sending them an e-mail. Im sure if they sell rims they should have the pieces. I have found a lot of the time websites do not list every produst they carry. Especially for small accesories like that.

Hubcentric rings can be found on the net, just kinda hard to find. You'll need to know the bore diameter on the rims and the diameter on the accord itself. Call whalen and ask for Steve, tell steve what your problem is and he will set you up. I got the rims and tires for my G35 from him.
