Is anyone running lenso drag wheels on the street everyday? they are so cheap i cant imagine them being very strong to hold up to pot holes and such...

 

what is your reasoning? im just curious...i have 18 inch wheels that came on the car and they dont do crap at the track just looking for something affordable and does a good job i would like to buy a set of 2 lensos as well as a smaller set of wheels for daily but your talkin more than 1300 bucks most likely

 

if I remember right, the Lensos were made for autocross no?

if not, then try daimond racing...they make autocross wheels that are cheap and light

 

if its a "drag wheel" that "can be used" for autocross then what is the difference? they market it as a drag wheel? what if it was marketed as an "autocross wheel that can be used for drag racing" .. i guess i don't understand.

"steelies" look like ****. atleast get some rota's they're normally under 400 for a set anyways, but maybe not anymore, as their popularity has increased.

 

true.. steelies are definately cheap! find someone with some smaller wheels who wants your 18s and trade

 

im trying but so far i have only found one guy and he wants to trade....for 17" wheels plus they are pretty ugly. i prolly wont go with the lenso's daily it was just a thought so i wanted to see if anyone has done it

 

whats wrong with like some stock oem honda or acura wheels ...to big ...to heavy ...civic HX wheels are nice ....just a thought ...

 

i like fat fives and blades i just cant spend the money that people ask for a good set of those its kinda crazy

would that sort of be like the falken Azenis? Autocross tire but people use it for drag racing?

 

thats funny the idea i had wa azenis on the lensos

 

yeah i heard the azenis are for autocross.. but people still drag with those

 

Lenso's are being used in many Autocross applications.

They fit on Miata, BMW 2002, Nissan Sentra, Toyota Corolla and of course Civic and Integra

 

Lensos are fine for the streets too. I know plenty of people using them . They were street wheels.
Now if you guys are reffering to the 13inch VPD Johhny Racer or whatever they called them things when they came out, then that might be a diff story. I remember they were pretty wide.

But remember they made Lenso's in many other sizes, not just the 13's people are used to seeing

Yep, I have a set of 15" Lenso's for the street. They weigh about 10.8 lbs each if I remember correctly.

Axis sells the street version now.

 

they always did sell the street version. If anything they sell less variety now then years ago. This is back in like 99 though im talking
I tried to get a set of 15's like last year or the year before and was told by Exospeed they were discontinued awhile ago
