Hub centric rings or spacers?
If you want to run a hub centric ring for the rotors, the Nissan hub is 66.1mm and the Honda/Acura hub is 64.1mm. I havent been able to find any rings for a reasonable price in that measurement.
If youre talking about hub centric rings for the wheels, I got a set off eBay a while ago. They were plastic, the metal rings can get stuck easily.

I bought a set of plastic hub rings in those measurements from ebay a little while back. They cost me under 15 bucks shipped. Just keep an eye out for them. I forgot why I didnt get them on the car though, I just know there was a fitment problem. Either the 66.1 measurement was too small (not sure why that would be though) or the hub rings are too wide to fit in that space and have the wheel sit flush in that area against the rotor. Anyways, I ended up selling them to someone putting Nissan wheels on their Honda.

This bbk has become the most popular now for all honda/acura's it seems. How much did it run you guys total for calipers, brackets, rotors, pads, lines, and calipers re-powdercoated. I think I am just gonna get the stoptech bbk since I have never seen a cl with it, I think its probably best setup for track/street combo, and it probably dsn't cost much more anyway. Stoptech I can get the 2 piece bbk for 1500 shipped.

All of the 18's I have test fitted on my car cleared the studs with no problem. But be careful when you put the wheels on the car, the studs stick out back there and you can easily scratch the barrel of the rim.

Not all. Right now, you can only fit this on 2G CL/TL and 6G Accord.

Dang, I stand corrected. Although I thought Paul couldn't make brackets for these to use with the 3G and 7G because they would be too thin or something and that their option was to use the Type-S/6speed spindle with the Brembo calipers.
I'm guessing that means that you can use the brackets with the Legend since those calipers are a direct fit for us.

So like I said earlier, I tried using 66.1 to 64.1 rings on my rotors and it did not work, it seemed like the rotors had a larger center bore then 66.1 because the rings were wayyy loose. I ended up selling them. After I did a little digging, I found these diagrams:

Looks like the center bore on the rotors is 68.1mm. Maybe it's the way the nissan hubs are set up. I'll be on the look for 68.1 to 64.1 rings. There are none on ebay right now, there's just 66.1 to 64.1 rings.
Have you found rings for your rotors Morgan? Can you confirm this?

All I found were the 66.1-64.1 rings, which I just bought
We'll see when they come in. Worst case, Ill toss them on the SE-R wheels Im trying to sell.
The company I used to custom make my wheel spacers will make the rings for me, but Im not spending $50 plus shipping for two friggin rings.

I'm going to email the company that makes those rings that your buying. They say they can make rings to custom specs. Hopefully they won't be too much more then those 66.1-64.1 rings. I'll keep you guys updated.
EDIT: found these while browsing their ebay store:

I just installed my kit. But my wheels don't fit. Smh! So I got a 8mm spacer and installed it on the driver side and they fit no with no problem. When I went to put the passenger side on, with the 8mm spacer. It didn't. Clear fml! I added a 2mm washer and it barely cleared. So my question is why is this happening lol.
I might throw them in the market so look out for them lol.

I did verified it 1000000 times. Bracket on washer then bolt. Caliper on washer then nut. Tighten until both caliper flush to bracket. (Really tight). Pads slide in perfect. Pins slide over silver shim then spring pin
