Will all aftermarket wheels need to run these ? Im going to be running Rota Slipstreams. Do i need the hubcentric rings ? I know I used them with my old 5zigen wheels.

 

Yes you will need some hub centric rings. You can get free ones from tire shops.

 

Don't count on getting free ones from tire shops. I've tried, without success. Maybe you've had better luck than I have.

They should be provided when buying the wheels new. When buying used, if you're lucky they will be provided by the seller. Otherwise, you'll have to look around.

 

yea well im getting them new. However are the rings application specific or what ? I have some off my old wheels but i would imagine it would differ alot.

 

Depends on whether the wheels have a different size center bore.

Yes. The Rota's you're wanting have a center bore of 73mm. Your stock diameter (correct me if I'm wrong) is 64.1mm

 

Well if the slipstreams are the same bore as subzero's then you will need 67.1 OD and 56.1 ID assuming all honda's bores are the same. I just purchased some hubcentric rings for my subzero's. I'm not totally sure but the bore on the wheels might differ in the size of the rim. Best bet is to call Rota. I have 18" wheels.

All Honda center bores are not the same. They are 56 mm on most Civics and Integras, 64 mm on most Accords and Preludes, 70 mm on some Legends, and the NSX and S2000 are different front vs rear.

 

so then the wheels dont come with the rings then ? Where would I buy them ?

 

Go to a tire shop.

 

They're hard to find, unless you're getting them at the same time as you're buying new wheels. It's really, really unlikely that you'll find them at a tire shop.

This is one place that sells them.

 

is there an advantage to plastic or aluminum ?

Also does anyone know FOR SURE what size 5th gen preludes run ?

 

You were wanting 15x7 5x114.3 +40 Slipstreams

Your vehicle: Center Bore: 64.1mm Bolt Pattern: 5/114.3 Thread: 12x1.5 Bolt/Stud: Stud
