i was thinking about getting some 15x4 welds wheels for the rear of my hatch. right now i have some stock 99 si wheels on the back. is the only pro to these the weight advantage? any other info you guys have, please let me know. thank you

 

are they worth the $550 i guess is what im trying to say?

weld draglites 15x4 $122x2=250
m&h 3.5/24.0-15 $105x2=200

 

rolling resistance and speed safety are other factors

is racing worth it? thats a question only you can answer

most people say skinnies are good for about a tenth, which is worth $500 to most

 

so a tenth is what we're talking about? thank you, anyone else got anything to say about using skinnies?

 

up

 

anyone else?

 

ttt

 

They look cool too

 

yeah they do, haha

 

Well I used them from a friend once and got that same result of one tenth and since I was on a budget I decided to just my 13" stockers instead of spending the $500+ for the skinnies.

 

i have some 13x5 steel things, are they light? i never really noticed the weight

 

Thats what I use the stock Crx 13x5's. I've never weighed them but for a tenth it was worth using them to me.

 

ok cool, ill just use those. if they work just as well as the skinnies, why spend the money? thanks man

 

skinnies also help 60 ft times cause you can put way more air in them and make them hella stiff.

and that also.

 

but you can also fill up those 13x5's with lots of air too, right?

 

yea but not 60 psi of air. maybe 45 or so. and also, the skinnies have less contact patch. less drag by the rear wheels... im comparing to my 13x5 HX wheels that are lighter than crx wheels... skinnies are better. and they look more professional.

 

Without a doubt if your doing a full race car then skinnies are a most and yes they look 100 times better but if your on a budget then that $500+ could go to much more.
