I really don't know
Re: A few questions about my VX rims (xThexHeadx)
9.75 lbs for the rim and you wont get too much $ for them. HX rims (14inch VX's) arent even going for that much. 13's are just too small these days

13's too small my poop! For those with lightweight cars and decent single cam powerplants, those 13's are gonna increase your final drive and you'll notice a huge difference on the track if you run with some A032R's or something!
They'll increase any car's final drive, but not needed with say a C5 swap, but will still help

Re: A few questions about my VX rims (Emerica)
Have you ever driven a car with VX rims? Have you ever driven a car in the rain with VX rims? It sucks! Going from a stop to do a left hand turn in the rain you can feel the car start to "FWdrift" and thats not even accelerating hard.
13inch rims are fine with stock brakes, what if you want to do a brake upgrade, good luck.
165series width, wow those seems like they lay alot of rubber on the ground for traction.
I have VX rims and i think they look awesome, however, for anything relating to performance, i say they suck

Re: A few questions about my VX rims (PanFionasTees)
alot of people suggest cramming 185-195 width on the rims, bet you'd get a traction increase....

Re: A few questions about my VX rims (PanFionasTees)
I have vx rims. I've weighed em with the stock tires...22 lbs exactly. I can vouch for them sucking in the rain. Gotta good scare once...hydroplaned but luckily didn't lose control. I have never tried the A032Rs or any other tire...but the stockers suck. I have managed 2.2 60 footers on them.
As much as I hate the performance aspect of it...I still must admit, they look pretty dope and totally give that sleeper look.

That doesn't seem like a lot to me when you're talking 23 1/2-inches...

Re: A few questions about my VX rims (hatchback)
I think he was talking aesthetically which IMO they are way to small. 15s for CRX's and 16s for Civics. If you want to go faster, buy a turbo, not 13 inch wheels.

Re: A few questions about my VX rims (RK)
Every tire that Honda uses on their stock vehicles short of the S2000 blow major a$$. I hydroplaned on the crappy a$$ stockers and almost curbed my car. Ditch those things and bought S-03s a couple days later. There is absolutely no comparision.

Re: A few questions about my VX rims (cxSOHChatch)
Wow 
on me, i forgot that every professional race team runs 13inch rims.
I bet GSR brakes love VX rims, better yet EX brakes love VX rims
I can see why HondaTech is starting to lose its respect, newbie this newbie that, jdm sucks this jdm sucks that, hate on every thread.
