Here's the history of that. Don't know exact years but its close. Its just been so long ago.

15x6.5, 17x7 and 13x7.5 VPD were made about 1998-99. 13x7.5 were discontinued about 2000 or so. Followed by the 15 and 17" awhile later

We bought the rights to the mold for the 13x7.5 about 2001 or so. We kept manufacturing/selling the 13x7.5 since then as Lenso since we didnt really plan on starting a wheel company.

Years later, we decided to make a matching skinny for the VPD but we couldnt market as Lenso since that isnt our legal business name. So thats when Exospeed Racing Wheels started. The 15x3.5 XPD was born in 2007, the first new wheel that was made under Exospeed Racing Wheels.

We've always been asked to make a 5 lug VPD but its not a big seller and most Honda drag racers arent on a 5 lug setup. It wasnt economical to do a 5x114, 15" wheel at the time due to the limited requests on it compared to how many 4x100 racers there are.

Fast forward to 2009. Now with our Exospeed FORGED Wheel line, we can do most of the lug patterns in 4x100 and 5x114 and soon 4x114 and 5x100. With custom widths of 7" to 12" in 13 and 15" wheel diameters.

So to answer your question. No there isnt a 15" 5x114 Drag VPD wheel.
