I just received my new rims which I had the centerbore custom milled to the 64.1mm like the wheel info section shows but my wheels do not fit. The center is not big enough, so either they were not cut to 64.1mm or the 06 TSX has a bigger centerbore. Anyone have any ideas?

I presume the pattern is correct - 114.3x5?
Have you measured the bore?
It could be a case of them being 64.0mm and they made a mistake of not recognising the .1 part.

The pattern is correct, I went and bought a caliper to measure the bore and yes it measures just under the 64.1, that sucks.

Send/take them back to get done properly!

It will be a pain with the shipping, so I will have them milled down locally and have the company pay for it, I hope. Should be cheaper than having them pay shipping both ways. These are the 6061 Forged wheels that I managed to get a set. They are a really good looking wheel and lightweight at 15 pounds for a 19" rim. The guy operating thir CNC machine for the bore should be canned.

probably the centerbore isnt round?

I'd speak to 6061 and tell them the score.
They may offer to do the job right this time, and should pick up the tab for shipping back and forth.

what site did you get them off? I used to work with a company from 6061 alloy, who did you work with? Jerry or Josh?

The brand name is "6061 Forged" but from what I was told this was a side job for a while by a machine shop in So Cal that builds 2 and 3 piece wheels for other companies. The website 6061forged.com is still online but it's not supposed to be according to someone named Tom which I got these wheels from.

PJS

Yeah, gone away from retail now to OEM work.

Is the center bore the same on Honda and Acura wheels, 64.1mm?

not all models, TSX, TL, Accord, Civic have 64.1
