Isn't that why stores have a return policy? If they didn't want their customers to use it, why would they have one?
What car did you get to replace your Z?
They still may charge you for returning it. Best buy charges a 30% stocking fee, or maybe 15%...you can return it if the company lets you, but there may be a fee...

Hell, Lowes charges you stocking fee's and all kinds of **** if you order something from of a catalog and return it. Only thing that they let you return for "free" is shiat they have sitting on their shelf. And 99% of the shops are not going to have wheels that will work with the lude sitting on their shelf, especially one with bbk.
And bench racing is retarded, I know petern was joking, but I honestly think you are serious which just makes your general attitude more evident.
If you don't like to be called out on this ****, don't come out boasting all kinds of BS with all the issues you still have on your car, etc. And imagine if you sold your wheels plus used the cash you just spent on your fancy door sills, you could have some wheels that didn't look so ghey with the offset.

Better to be charged a restocking fee for one wheel than to buy all 4 and have them not fit and find a way to sell them. I knew a BBK would come with all kinds of extra costs, so this is just one thing I'll have to accept.
And I don't care about racing and losing, what good is giving a car more power and not seeing how it stacks up? It'll give you a benchmark for the next level to take your car to.
And for all the other stuff you just said, I give you the...
Congratulations! I don't give a **** what you say!
get that information and often you can get a similar diagram for a wheel, if not, purchase from a vendor or shop that will get the measurement information for the wheel before you buy. i understand you had the wheels first, but you could/should have known before installing the brake kit that it was going to need spacers.
that guy had an idea, but didn't do the needed research to get a usable final product, not to mention he thinks volks are sooo much lighter than the advans...
when purchasing his wheels, there is an option for a "high pad," which allows it to fit bbk's, which he could even have, but running those giant (wide) acura calipers doesnt help. i am willing to bet if he had 18's, he wouldnt have a fitment issue. also, if someone wants to let him know, if he does decide to get the advans and sell his volks, a +35mm offset wheel on a prelude will end up with a fitment similar to your front wheels...
don't make me bench race you with a car that i don't even own any more, you WILL lose! stupid clown shoe driving cracker! aZn's like t.j. and i have to stick together around all you racist hillbillies...
I'm the guy doing the RL kit. I got my Volks for $1200 used with rubber and decided to build the BBK kit months after. The kit itself is only running me $600 and I'll only need 3mm more of clearance to make it all work. I'm not sure right now if I want to run spacers but they are an option. The only thing stopping me now is that it's winter. If I had $3000 to waist on rims that I would beat the snot out of on a track then yes, I would have purchased them brand new with the correct offset.
The Advan are not as light as the Volks but offer more inner clearance and are wider rims that with aggressive camber (once again for the track) they will fit fine if I roll the rear fender. I will be running R compounds with my BBK so I need a dedicated track rim.
You don't put 18" rims on a Lude that is roadraced. But then again you wouldn't know this because you're on a Prelude forum using pictures of a 350z to talk about wheel clearance . Why do you use pictures of a rwd car that runs 9.5" rims in the front and 10.5" in the rear and brag about how you ordered the right kit for a car that already came stock with Brembo calipers.
It has always been difficult to fit BBKs on a fwd car because of limited clearances. To save cost I used a stock 350z rotor and had to work around those dimensions. I could have easily had a custom 2 piece rotor designed to make it all work for my car but that would have cost $400 more. I did my research....the entire point of the RL BBK was to be cost effective.
It's evident that you're a poser because you have brembo rear calipers and Willwood front on the Z. Only a person that cares about looks would remove Brembos for Willwood (probably because they match the colour of your car).
It looks like this thread has brought out the worst in alot of people. You obviously understand the basics of wheel fitment and clearances but lack the maturity to educate without insulting people. If you had actually taken the time and ask the right questions you'll realize that there are many different ways to get things done at a lower cost. I could have easily ordered a $1300 Willwood kit, but unlike you I don't just pose with my parts. The Willwood kits are known to wobble and warp after 5mins of lapping on a tight track. This is due to the thinner design which make the caliper weaker. The RL calipers on the other hand may be thicker but is a much stronger design.
If you take a look at my motor build you'll also see that I did my research. While using almost all stock Honda parts I made 230whp and 185wtq NA. It's not about how much money you spend, it's how you spend it.

uh huh, well, i used to have a prelude, i just hang around for the lulz associated with honda tuning ...and get it right, i bragged about ordering the correct wheels...

^omg, i p'shopped the rears on! i probably put them on because 6/4 pot setup performs better than the 4/2 pot setup of the oem brembos, and stopping the best z in the world is hard!

this is the interweb, there is no use for maturity. i thought my post about wheel fitment was an honest attempt to save him money and hassle
i didnt pose with my parts either, but if you really want to see my sexy ass that much, i'll think about taking some pics for you. are you a thong kinda guy? or do you prefer boy shorts?

put your car on a mustang dyno and let me know your numbers, dynojets are good for self comparison and bragging rights..
Didnt the later G35's scrap the Brembro's because they were able to get the cars to stop better without them? I cant see any problem with swapping Brembo's with Wildwood because I'm sure there was a huge market for those OEM brembos which helps offset the cost.
BB6Allstar thats a great setup but please with the "almost" all Honda parts. I just read through your parts list and you're running a non OEM intake, header, cat, exhaust, tuning, pistons, and cams. LOL, that's probably 90% of your gains right there.
BTW Mr. Best Prelude In The World.. you just paid $600 for aluminum door sills and you have them face down on a concrete curb?
PS I'm the greatest page 6 0wner in the WORLDZ y0!
Here is the real reason this thread was started...
Wait wait wait wait wait.....hold on there a sec....you mean these stupid sills aren't even the full sill-plates?
THEY JUST PASTE ON!?!?!
Dude, this whole time I have been moderately criticizing you for an out-of-proportion buy....I though that to go easy cause I don't want to sound as out-of-control as some of these other guys ( )....
...But now you just did it for me....They arent the full piece that replaces the whole plastice part...THEY ONLY GLUE ON.
I can't believe this, honestly, **** all you guys that have bought these in the past...you're all a bunch of morons, whether you bought em for $620, or $150...A part that just pastes on...what a moronic rip-off.
^^^ Hey now I resemble that comment! They're doublesided taped on and although I agree this guy is a tool for blowing $600 for them they do step the interior up a bit.
^^ you mean you didn't click on the thread in the beginning to see they were just the metal pieces and not a complete piece? Even I knew that. It was even said on here how the attached to the sill and all that from the start. It's not like I didn't know what I was getting into.
For the record, i'm very pleased with them. They're really eye catching and they will get alot more attention than you all would think. My interior is a good conversation starter anyway, so of course I'm opening the door alot. I've been asked by at least 5 different girls if they could sit in it when I go around to the hangouts on wedneday nights. I'm actually surprised by how many know so much about Preludes and know the interior is the SIR interior.
I personally think the only people who should be saying things about these sills on here are the ones that own them or have owned them. They aren't worth $600 like I said, but they sure are worth having. I believe I can stick a fork in this interior, because it's done.
