    Junkyard purchase

    I went to the junkyard today and bought 4 1990 Accord EX wheels. 15" with decent tires. it was at the yard for about 10 days.
    i got them for $150

    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..
    huge transformation.

    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.
