    Center bores:

    These wheels had a center bore of about 80MM, and didn't allow room for machining so I used 2-1/4" Billet aluminum spacers on all four wheels. This is the perfect size to clear the front hub and give the hubless look to the center of the wheel.

    Beware, even with a lift and only 265/70/17's, Due to the extra offset created by the spacers, there is a bunch more trimming to do than installing wheels without spacers.

    PEEEEEECE,
    Bim

    Still working onthe billet roof rack. It sort of got put on the back burner with lifts/wheels/tires, motorcycles, supermodels, etc.

    Alright, kpaske...if my cast aluminum, laser etched and enameled grill badge looks like a "Honda" logo, I'll get out the grinder and see what I can do to change it a bit....don't want people to think I customized a CRV.

    I haven't seen it close up, but I'm sure it's very nice.

    I guess it doesn't look exactly like the Honda logo, but that was the first thing I thought of, FWIW. I love the wheels though!
