For a while now I've been wondering if there is a market for a 15"x3.5" spindle mount rear wheel made to fit the Honda spindle? Like normal Anglia or Strange spindle mounted wheels, the rotor hat would bolt direcly to the wheel, eliminating the conventional hub. By designing the wheel specifically for Honda's, the correct offset could be achieved so that the wheel could tuck into the fender better. Not sure on the cost, just trying to place a feeler into the marketplace.

 

sounds like a good idea on paper.... but at that point, you might as well ditch the rest of the rear suspension too. and go tubular. who knows, maybe nhra would "outlaw" your wheels too.

 

Sound interesting.

 

IMO, it would be easier to just make a custom anglia/strange spindle that replaces OEM, which has been done before.

 

You do have two bearing diameters on Civics.

LOL...

 

We've thought of that idea as well AST. Like the other guys said. 1) NHRA may outlaw it in the classes that you want to market it to. 2) The majority of the drag racing market are NOT wanting to make more modifications than they need to. 3) The guys that would want a spindle mount are already full race cars which would rather have full tubular or something like the Ken's rear end kit.

I myself would like the full rear end kit if there were other options. Its one of those things, its either you dont do it or you go all out.
