15x3.5 Bogart skinnies are about $300 for the wheels.

spare tires as skinnies are not legal at the track.

stock 13x5 steelies with 155/80/13 tires at 60 psi do a GREAT job, I only have $45 invested.

150bucks. they are in great shape with a poop load of tread. they are light as hell...nearly as light as bogarts which i also owned. i bet it couldn't be more then a 1lb or 2 difference between the 2.

I'm driving down 95. you could give me your number and i could call you on the way down. but i have a group of at least 4-5 car including one roadcar being trailered so you'll have to be the one to hop on 95 to meet us. We are all meeting at the Delaware Rest area at 11am and then heading down 95south. Not sure where you are ...but again...you'll have to meet us on the roadway. 150 is dirt cheap for light rear skinnies. I've used hx rims with slicks, hx for rear skinnies then the vx's and finally the bogarts. i was really surprised at how close the vx and bogarts were.

i never knew the VX wheels are that light. The bogart skinnies are about 6lbs.. so a honda wheel at about 8lbs? whooaa.
with tires the bogart/m&h setup is no more than 15lbs.
