Default post your 13" wheels for slicks, alternatives to lenso's

Im looking for a set of budget 13" wheels for slicks, perferably 7-8" wide.

Iv found diamond racing wheels and Im still waiting for them to reply to me.

if you have any suggestions for a budget 13" wheel for slicks please post them.

Check the for sale threads. Used is where your save money.

Kind of far away, but here are Welds;

Iv been looking, I found a used set of bogarts on craigslist for 250, but the guy would not ship :/

car looks nice but I know welds will be out of my budget.

I spent the last two years scoring the internet for a set of Weld Racelites. Had to get everything in pieces as they're NLA, but I'm about 600 into the set with tires.

to clear bigger brakes, some "Real" drag wheel would be needed (volks, v2' s, or lensos).

or DIAMONDS will crazy spacers.

with a 3/4'' spacer, i think i can clear my ITR caliper'd 10.2'' brakes (slightly bigger than GSRs.).

i only run those at the roadcourse though ,and run stockers otherwise.

the wheels are the ones i posted a picture of, the weld's up above. i believe the back spacing is 4" or 5", i dont know which, they are 13 x 8. have had them for a few years now. got gsr front knuckles/hub/brake setup on ek hatch and they fit with no problem with no spacers.

god slicks **** me the **** off lol. I just hate being such a tight ***. like I dont mind spending the money on the rubber, but I hate the idea of paying 350ish for 2 13" wheels that total a whopping 16lbs combined. I just feel like its alot.if I could find a pair for 200 I would be down to buy them, but Iv been looking for used for about 6 months now, and the only good deals I find the seller absolutely wont ship :/

I've personally seen someone run 9's on steelies, so if you're really a cheap *** you could do that I guess.
