Default Drag Wheels for RSX and/or Prelude?

What kind of drag wheel options are there right now for the 5 x 114.3mm folks?

How wide are the wheels? Offset/Backspacing?

114.3 mm = 4.5 inches, so I'm assuming he used a 4X4.5 lub pattern.

since 13x8 seems to be the norm for civic guys, i think 15x8 should work well.

What are the specs of that wheel? Do you know the back spacing (or offset)?

Where can someone acquire the Weld 90 series wheels at?

And how much were they? Do they come in other sizes?

When I used Type-S calipers I did have to shave them a lot. I now use base model RSX calipers for the smaller lighter rotor.
