Yes I was referring to the silicsmt sealant for the mounting screw holes. For the sake of everyone following along I ended up going with this other loctite silicone sealant which is specifically marketed for vehicles. Probably same crap but oh well here is the link:LOCTITE RTV Clear Silicone...
Thank you so much for the detail. Couple questions if possible,
1)in which direction dill you drill when widening the wheel holes? I'm not sure if it matters?
2) Which lug nuts did your end up going with? OEM?
3)Did you end up keeping the wood block to keep the wheel even or swapped to something...
But seriously thank you @kjechel and @Frenzal . You guys are fucking awesome for taking so much time and going into so much detail to help folk for something Acura should have done. Maybe they ought to send you a check
Got links for the rims and tires you used?
Have you been able to test how the stock lugs press against the rims?
I apologize if you mentioned already brother

Do you know which gen? Am I wrong to assume the stock lug nuts for that model should work? If so, that seems like a much easier path. But my small lizard brain might be missing something...
I know I'll eventually end up drilling the trunk for the mounting bracket. It's the most "OEM" looking solution to me, and I like that.
But yeah im a bit intimidated by the aspect of widening the wheels. I don't have access to a shop nor the know-how. But surely the answer can't be as simple...
Hey man thank you so much for taking the time to help us all out. Quick question. I think you mentioned somewhere these wheels were intended for a certain BMW? If so, wouldn't the lugs for that model work for us?
So I bought all the parts and had the tire mounted today. Below are my results:
As you can see in the above image I used the jack to hold the tire in place. This seems to work well. The tire doesn't budge.
The cover panel doesn't sit perfectly* flush, but the gap is barely noticeable. In...
Thanks brother! I ended up ordering the 4 pack for 6 bucks more. It's got good ratings and come in a real nice box ?
I'll report fitment once it arrives.
Can anyone confirm these centering rings:

I did in South Florida. (53K out the door so you can technically say that I got it for under MSRP)
This was in the Miami market, when the ITS was just released. So definitely don't pay over MSRP.
I've been on the lookout for a model in any scale! So far I've seen some for the FL5 but nothing yet for the new gen integra.
Even if they eventually pop up, I'm definitely not holding my breath for a Type S version.
