I'm looking for a good set of wheels to use at the track. This will be my first time racing my hatch at the track and I know traction makes a big difference. I was thinking of getting a light set of 15s but I'm not sure which ones. Please make suggestions.

92 Turbo Civic Si

 

get some rottas
what kit did you use to turbo your si?
and what else did you have to do to it

 

i would get some rota slipstreams (cant beat em for the price) and some falken aziens or kuhmo v700s in 205/50/15

 

Sort of related topic, but what are good size slicks for the rota slipstreams and what brand? Where can you buy some online?

 

its a greddy tdo4h turbo with a greddy fmic, turbox BOV and all the piping had to be custom made. I only run 7psi. The motor has stock internals. I have a greddy turbo back exhaust system. I haven't made to many changes to the motor because I want to swap in a b18c1 and turbo that.

 

why dont you get some rims for slicks.

just having light wheels wont make a diff. its the tires that you will be using is whats going to be the major factor in getting better launches.

if ur going to race..dont get something ur going to worry about messing up..id say get a set of cheapy steelies with slicks just for the track since chances are ur going to put some dings in it..even rotas will cost u a few hundred bucks..but if u dont mind the possibility of scraping and dinging them up..get them..i certainly wouldnt be spending a bunch of $$$$ on nice wheels for the track...???? my .02 cent s

 

Axis used to sell some bad-*** drag wheels called the "VPD Tom Slick." It was really a 13x7 Lenso VPD I think, but they are light as hell and can accomodate fat slicks.

 

 

will only fit over stock brakes though.

Just get something cheap and invest in slicks. There are 2-3 ads in the classifieds section as we speak w/ rims/slicks for sale.
