Prelude SI wheels

[AAPOQ]

It's the edge of the rim scraping your sway bar endlink I bet. I have Sawblades and they do the same thing! Thought it was just me but if you really search the site there are other cases of it happening w/ prelude wheels.

f this is the problem is there a solution?

You need to find out whats causing the problem to find the solution

I have si alloys on my 5th gen CE1 and no issues.

Nothing I have found by reading on here only thing I can think of is small spacers?? Here is a link to of the only threads I found on the topic, although its about sawblades the are essentially same rim dimension wise.

I'm guessing u found the replies u were looking for but when i started wearing my Si shoes on my cb7 i experienced the same metal to metal contact whenever i would make sharp turns. After miles of driving it went away and i haven't heard that sound ever since, only when i first started wearing them. I believe it may have to do with the offset not sure.. or maybe after a while the wheels settled on the hubs properly. However when i first experienced the noise i noticed the inside lip of the rim had a very small indent and it appeared as that's the only place it would rub.

I went to a couple shops askin about my problem after i got my alignment done and they irritated me with their responses. Suggested that they cut out a small piece so it wouldn't rub.. no. Then they asked if they were the rims that the car came with and i replied no, he then said that's why, cuz they weren't meant for our cars -_-. The response that aggravated me least was the suggestion of spacers. But my car has been fine with them since, just ride it out for a lil and see if the wheels settle properly

Metal on metal is never a good thing man, I'm just gonna be careful not to go into steering lock.

I believe in that theory as well, but i checked on it often and the wheels aren't makin contact with the hub anymore. And even when it was it would barely touch it, only on the wheel with the dent.
