Honda/Acura disc rotors on my FB?

I'm wondering if a disc rotor with the same bolt pattern and offset from something like a honda or an acura would work on my car? I don't see why not,

i have a gsl-se, which has 4x114.3 (a standard acura i think...), with a +40mm offset or so.

Shouldnt any other disc rotor w/ those same specs fit onto my car? This would make it much cheaper and easier than buying the $200 ones from 'trix, rb, or mariah...

Thanks!

Make sure the thickness is the same as well.

Wheel offset has nothing to do with the plane of the disc. As in even though the wheel offsets and bolt circles are the same, the disc itself will not line up with the caliper.

You may get lucky, but this is by no means a sure thing.

no they won't work here Geoff...

even if they are the right thickness and diameter, the rotors on your car also house the bearings, and I am very sure that they will not fit onto the spindles of our 1st gens..

no dice, just buy the real ones

$225? you need to do some more shopping my friend..

stock ones are ~$90 and you can get powerslots for about ~$140.

if you're paying $225 for any of them, you're getting screwed.
