Hello everyone,

I have an Acura RSX base, auto, year 2006 and I have made some changes to make it look like the Honda Integra Type-S (not Type-R).
I have the installed the 17" championship white rims of the Integra.
What 15" spacers do you recommend?

thank you for your answer.

Now, I'm asking to EVERYONE: what brand of 15" spacers do you recommend ? (model / part no.)
I don't want to dismantle my brakes, discs etc... to mount any bolts and spacer - I just want to install the spacers directly over the discs and using good bolts.

I'm concerned about:
  • quality
  • security
  • reliability
thank you again.

I have ordered the following 15mm spacers from H&R: H&R DRS 15mm Wheel Spacer Silver for 2005-2006 Acura RSX - 3065640 - (2006 2005)
unfortunately this type of width, requires to dismantle the disc, remove the factory bolts and replace them with the longer H&R bolts: a lot of work!
see the following video at around 4:55 -
the guy replaces the original bolts with longer ones. I don't want to do this.

I know H&R has another "bolt system" for 20mm and 25mm. But i want to use 15mm.


any suggestions?
anyone has heard about HUBCENTERS ? or other brands having 15mm but using the original bolts with additional bolts (like the 20mm and 25mm from H&R)

thank you in advance.

So, the thing is, with the thicker wheel spacers there is space inside of the spacer to fit the head of another bolt. That way you can bolt them onto your existing lug studs, grind off the excess of the old studs, and fit your wheel onto the bolts that come out of the spacer. The 15mm ones aren't thick enough for that. Either you'll need to press new studs into your hub (looks like those come with the kit), which is quite difficult and I don't recommend, or you'll need to pay somebody to press new studs into the hubs, or you'll need to order a type of spacer that replaces the lug studs with lug bolts. Then those bolts can go through the wheel from the outside and screw into the spacer. I hate lug bolts with a burning passion, but they seem to be getting more popular on newer cars.

thank you, everyone for your inputs. I will review them and take a decision.

I found the following: HUBCENTRIC Wheel Spacers (15/20/25mm) - NEWLY IMPROVED

Another questions: what is the differences between:
  • Satin Black Material: Forged Aluminum
  • Anodized Black Material: Billet Aluminum
  • Raw Aluminum Material: Billet Aluminum
witch one is better?
They're all the same. Just choose your preferred color.
