dont see any that would fit vx wheels though.

 

Ah yea. I dont think 5" wide tires would be considered "drag" rims heh.
*edit* Theres a company that makes some cheap drag rims though. Started with a V. Dont remember the name though...

on a 5" wide rim, there isnt a slick that would fit that size.

 

so are the vx wheels kind of worthless then? i mean, i saw a couple sets of tires for them, but is there really just not anything that makes the vx wheels worthwile? no drag radials or anything? that kinda sux.

 

Is it Ventus?

 

when u got 13's (vx rims) ur tire has to spin more than the bigger ones to make the same trip...and it being so thin...u wont move for ****...i know cuz i run on vx for daily but i got 15's for POMONA!!!!!!

 

find some 14" steelies, mount 20x6x14's, might get 13's
find a cheap 14x7 wheel, mount 20x8x14's this is good for 12's
Best bet, 13x7 or 13x8 wheels with 22x8x13's

with what kind of power? what gearing? weight of car?

 

The only thing that I found to fit the VX wheels are M & H RACING TIRES (DOT) in P205/60-13. They are $131.60 each at http://www.mandhtires.com/. They are Bias ply not radials though. PM "SlicksMH" for details.

 

Put some cheap no-name 155/80 tires on the vx's and use them a skinnies for the rear. That's what I've seen numerous people do at the strip.

But then again I have seen someone mount M&H slicks that were to wide for the wheel and the sidewalls were bulging out from the rim.

sorry for hijacking ur thread, but why do people put skinnies in the back anyway? is there any benefit at all?

 

just for less rolling resistance, pretty negligible IMO unless you are trying to get every last bit out of the car.

i met one of the guys from that company. he came up to us at famoso after a test and tune. cool guy. good prices, good tires. i'm gonna have to find a way to get ahold of him, now that i'm ready for some slicks.

 

WOW, back from the dead. I ended up just mounting and using the old hoosies. work great. first time out with them(or slicks at all for that matter), launched really badly(2.2 with slicks is horrible) and cut .4 off my time, while dropping only .1 in my 60ft. and then i hydrolocked my car, so poo.
