so after a long 2 years of waiting I have been able to collect rims and just today have received my brand new kumho tires. everything is set for me to slap them on except for one minor detail. a few weeks back my friend was trying to loosen a lugnut and the stud snapped straight off the car.
basically i have a total of 3 lugs on my driver front wheel. I went ttoday to get prices on the replacement of these damn things and it turns out it will cost me AT LEAST $200.......talk about a let-down.
so now I will have to wait another 2 weeks (hopefully at most) to get these rims on the accord.
god damn Honda for being one of the few companies to put press-on rotors on the accord. and what makes me even more depressed is if the stud had broken off the back tires it'd cost me a total of a whooping $45 to get fixed.....no ..no honda wanted to make life difficult and put press-on rotors on the front and floating on the rear..WHYYYYYYY WHY WHY WHY HONDA?!?!?!

...I'M dont ranting........no more amberbock for me...i'm going to sleep

aw man I was about to give advice and them remembered the crazy pressed on rotors. What a dumb idea...I never understood that.
Do you think it could be cheaper somewhere else? Non-honda?

dude it's so easy to fix that. just remove the caliper and move the broken stud where the caliper used to be. then just hammer it out with a rod or something. then insert the new stud in and tighten the lug nut till it is in place. then reassemble everything.
