I was wondering if anyone here new where i can get some rear drag skinnys for my race car? Or is there any online web site that would show the rims and tires.

Thanks guys

 

I just run 155/80/13's ($23) on 13x5 steelies.

Jegs or Summit canget you the skinnys you want, but at 4x the money.

Moroso 23x5x15 for $91 @ Jegs.

 

where did you get those badboys for sooo cheap.

 

walmart baby

 

but what do your rims weigh along with the skinnies rims??

reduce 1 lb of dead weight( rim weight) and reduce 28 lbs off your car ( 4 rims combined)

 

What are the speed ratings on those things?

 

Well I saw some on <U></U> http://www.mmrusa.com awhile back so check them out and see if they still have them on there. Good luck finding some I would just put some slipstreams on there. <U></U> http://www.intercrewautosalon.com

 

who cares, you are only going in a straight line for 3/8's of a mile. No time for heat buildup from speed and/or cornering.

 

Hey that's a good point, go w/stock or something else lightweight. <U></U> http://www.intercrewautosalon.com

 

9-95 HX wheels with 155/60/13's... VERY lightweight.

 

HX = coupe = 14''
VX= HB = 13''

 

Uh, I still won't take that chance...cuz you never know.

 

"T" speed rated....that's 118mph...I've taken "S" rated tires to over 120+ with no problems(on the highways)and that's longer than a drag strip

THe point is, not a lot of people break over 110mph in the 1320 anyways(a regular Joe)

I know guys that have run the stock "econospare" in the rear for drag racing!

Talk about crazy!!!

 

Those are illegal to run at ANY track.

ESP since most are only rated to 45-55 mph

 

Why not get some insight wheels and tires for the rear?

 

u guys im talking about the Rear wheelsthat you see on the pro race cars, like l naturals, and speed camps crx. thoose rims i really need to find out who makes them for hondas. Thanks guys

 

I think Bogart makes them for Hondas. If not someone correct me.

 

Nope, you are correct. 15x3 is the size

 

because steelies where free (got 4 of them from dealer) and only cost $102 for the tires mounted/balanced.

I'm a cheapass, a fast cheapass though.

 

The Insight's wheels are ultra light- feels like a bicycle tire- and not too bad looking either. But they do cost some Mad Bills $$$. (unless you can find a totalled Insight- or an Insight that has been in any kind of wreck since you could total one with your foot)

 

I see no point in getting rear drag rims...It's pointless for the cost of them...If I wasn't heavily sponsored or a por dragster, I would never get them.

 

I just bump up the rear tire pressures. It's a hassle to take off the 1st set and put the 2nd set on. I just wanna drive there and make a pass.

 

plus, another hassle is installing another 8 studs into the rear hub for the bogart rims

 

Rears are easy, try doing the fronts!
