the best bang for your buck is spin werkes 13x8 wheels and 15x3.5 skinnies....

dang those SpinWerkes are heavy for paying that much money.

Our Lenso VPD are about 9lbs per wheel also but they are only $265/pair.
If you can deal with a 13x7.5 instead of a 13x8, the VPDs are a great option.

We've been selling the Weld Import Magnum too. lighter wheel of course, about 8lbs depending on the size(diam and width) wheel you are getting. But they run about $340 or so per wheel. More for the 15s.

They used to be known as Circle racing, but sold of their steel wheel division. The new owner kept that name, and now the original founder changed the entire aluminum line to Spinwerkes.

Thanks guys, for all of your orders! I am positive that you will love the weights, finish and perfromance of these wheels.
