look like these except i dont have center caps.

come to find out the dont fit (4x115??)
is there a way to swap the hub and brakes from this car also. i would love to have the brakes from the car and just be able to bolt up the wheels..

i was going to ask but i couldnt beat the price and i thought they would fit.
is a swap possible?? or too much work and money??

if you can get the hubs cheap its worth a shot

The front hubs of a 4g accord have all the brake weirdness attached to them.

The only thing I could think of them to make them work would be some sort of conversion spacers, but that would probably put the wheels out too far.

The cure for CB7 hub-over-rotor problem is Acura CL 2.2 hubs / rotors with CB bearings.
So maybe that would work transitively?

Actually that's way too much work for a set of OE Accord wheels.

I would do a conversion. Too much work for 4g wheels

I would do wheel adapters. But $72 for two adapters! It would be $6 less than I paid for the wheels! Haha

Ditto that. You should turn a nice profit on the wheels.
