Just curious which route you were going to take to mount it up. Looking good though!
Yeah, My plan was to make 2 new notches on the back of the RSX wheel hub to match the Integra wheel hub. As far as the splines, Im going to use a very thin strip of aluminium tape on the shaft and slide the RSX over this (making a very tight fit) Also plan on using a jam washer under the OEM steering wheel nut. Wheel wont come off, well maybe unless I have a head on with a block wall, but in that case it wont matter because I will be dead. Horn and cruise control wires are the same, the dual stage air bag on the RSX wheel will be converted over to single stage to match the factory system.

I also just picked up a 2001 sedan rear bumper to replace my 96 rear end. Wanted to get this installed before the car goes in for paint. Going with BMW's new Satin Dark Grey Metalic finish.....Should look pretty sinister with the black wheels and black accents.

I'm surprised that you hadn't considered finally to change those OEM wheels to something like this:

949 6ULs in 15X8 +35 offset..

Wrap it up in some 225/45/15 Toyo R888s, and BAM!!

This IMHO would just look so much more pimp than the OEM shoes you got on there.

He'll be fine on 4 lug. For his purpose, no reason to go to 5 lug unless it's just a matter of wheel choices.

4 lug, with same brakes as 5 lug. Better wheel choice, like for slicks and general wheels
