Who all makes skinnies for imports and what backspacing is best?
Who all makes the skinnies for imports? I know weld and bogart but does anyone else and what backspacing would be best for a CRX so they don't poke out? What is an average tire size to run on 15x3.50 wheels?

Here's a set of our full front drag wheels and rear skinnies.
Our XPD skinnies is a 3.5" wide wheel. The offset is a +10. That means its 10mm off from the center. The center is 1.75" plus the 10mm, so to guesstimate(since 10mm isnt that much) its about a 1.75" backspace.

As far as tire sizes, theres the M&H 22x3.5x15, 24x3.6x15, 26x4.5x15
this is a 22x3.5x15, we designed it so that it fits inside the fender and doesnt stick out or even with the fender.

Plus, good luck finding a set of weld skinnies for less than $800.... even used
Weld has discontinued their one piece skinnies and they only make the 3 piece wheels now. They are a 1.13" offset which look horrible on a honda/acura. They stick out too far.

You guys are hilarious. LOL. Ya I know, I want sideskirts on that car. That car goes into hibernation around Nov and gets dusted off around April/May. I forget about it for the longest time, then I remember every spring that I have to get sideskirts, but I keep forgetting to get one, then the season is over again. haha.
Ok FOR SURE sideskirts will be put on this year, just for you dave and vtekthis.
FYI:
Drag wheel prices are like this(these are estimates, not exact prices)
Bogart: no rivet/basic style 13" $330/each
Bogart: multi-piece 13" $390/each
Bogart: no rivet/basic style 15" $390/each
Bogart: multi-piece 15" $440/each
Bogart: no rivet/basic skinnies $240/each
Bogart: multi-piece skinnies $300 each
Weld Import Magnum 13" $340/each
Weld Import Magnum 15" $440/each
Weld Import Magnum skinnies $420/each
Weld Import Magnum 1pc 15" $460/each
Exospeed VPD 13" $145/each
Exospeed XPD 15" skinnies $150/each
Our target with the pricing is so our fellow racers can get drag wheels and skinnies for about $600/set all 4 wheels. Compared to other brands(which I feel are great wheels also) they can get around $1200-1600/set.
In most cases, with our wheels you can have a brand new wheel and slick setup within $1100-1200, and thats with slicks, wheels, skinny tires, mounted, balanced with valve stems already. Our wheels may not be for everyone, but its good to know that we can provide an alternative to the more expensive wheels out there.

yes, they are rim screws from Jegs or Summit (also make sure you properly space the screws ! notice from his pics they are not evenly spaced 
)
