I may have an opportunity to get some 13X7 Circle racing wheels from an IT racer that works in my building. I was wondering if anyone here has used them before. These are probably about 3 years old. How much would you pay for a set? Will I have to use spacers to clear the front brakes on my 91 Si? If I don't get them I will end up using the (heavy!) 15" Revos I got for $150 last year (price included used and now used up race tires) with Azenis if I can find em, or 712's if I can't. Plus I also was going to be running in a street tire street mod class my local association has, and was looking at the Tirerack site and for the 13's only saw the Sumitomo HTR200's in the right size and price ranges. Anyone ever use 'em? TIA

For street tires, you're probably better off with a 15" wheel. There aren't many 13i" performance tires left (AVSi if you can find them).

I haven't used the Circles myself - but I know Grassroots Racing Magazine has used at least one set. Maybe ask them.

 

They're fine for autocross - but watch out, if the tire mounting guy doesnt know what he's doing and you need to stuff a fat, stiff sidewalled race tire on it, the rim is easily bent up. Same with road course - rims are easily bent up... but great for AutoX

does anybody know where I can find a set online or any other decient light set of 13x8's?

thanks
