What is hubcentric?

[B]I just measured the rear oem wheel center opening and it seems to be larger than the center ring of the mounting point and the same diameter of the Spoon. If correct, the Honda oem wheels are "lugcentric"!

Think you better measure again, I've had Hondas since 1975, all have been hubcentric. Any manufacturer would be hubcentric. Threaded fasteners are for holding things together, and DO NOT LIKE being bent while doing so. If you are supporting the car's weight on the wheel stud you are constantly "working" that metal back and forth. The studs are overengineered so immeadiate or even long term breakage is unlikely, but have you ever bent a piece of metal back and forth until it breaks? Same thing. Its not if, but when. If you see wheels that you think are cool visually, and their manufacturer cares not to spend the money to have the wheels bore fit the car's hub flange, either get the proper (METAL) ring to adapt it to hubentric, or be aware you are comitting an engineering bastardization, however minor it may end up being. Said wheels may look very cool, but I wouldn"t race or track that car.
The Honda wheels are hubcentric. Like was posted earlier the front and rear hubs are different on the S2K. Lugcentric is never a good idea. You will end up with a vibration in the wheels. There is no way to mount a wheel perfectly on 5 points.
