Check the classifieds. I wouldn't pay more than $150 for a set of those.

Del Sol VTEC rims? Those things are hideous. I wouldn't pay more than $100 for those.

Find some on H-T and then overcharge the people that want them and buy yourself another set and have money in your pocket.

Ya, they are super light. They are also 13" which means it's very hard to find a decent tire for them and if you do the tire will be heavy because it has to be so big.

The only summer street tire you can get is the Sumitomo HTR 200. It's not a great tire. The only advantage is that is cheap. This is something you should think about before you purchase 13" rims. The other thing of course is brake clearance issues. Most people have to get spacers or grind of part of their caliper to fit VX rims due to the larger offset of those rims.

cheers.

One reason for getting 13's is that you can stay in a stock class in autocross if your car originally came with 13's.

Otherwise, ^^^^ what he said.

Neri was referring to street tires. The Yokohama A032R is an R compound track tire.
