Check the for sale threads. Used is where your save money.

Kind of far away, but here are Welds;

I spent the last two years scoring the internet for a set of Weld Racelites. Had to get everything in pieces as they're NLA, but I'm about 600 into the set with tires.

to clear bigger brakes, some "Real" drag wheel would be needed (volks, v2' s, or lensos).

or DIAMONDS will crazy spacers.

with a 3/4'' spacer, i think i can clear my ITR caliper'd 10.2'' brakes (slightly bigger than GSRs.).

i only run those at the roadcourse though ,and run stockers otherwise.

god slicks **** me the **** off lol. I just hate being such a tight ***. like I dont mind spending the money on the rubber, but I hate the idea of paying 350ish for 2 13" wheels that total a whopping 16lbs combined. I just feel like its alot.if I could find a pair for 200 I would be down to buy them, but Iv been looking for used for about 6 months now, and the only good deals I find the seller absolutely wont ship :/

I've personally seen someone run 9's on steelies, so if you're really a cheap *** you could do that I guess.
