well i'm lookin for some light rims to go drag racing with. i'm low with funds to get actual drag wheels so i want somethin cheap. right now i can buy a set of white 99 type r rims with tires for 400. or should i skip this and look for some of the miata rims? how much do the type r's weigh? i thought they were light but it seems like a lot of you guys go to something else. i just plan on using the rims for the drag with some drag radials or slicks, i still have to decide.

 

What kind of car are you drag racing?

 

ITR rims are not that light at 15.6 lbs a peice. Mazda wheels are very cheap and light.

 

Type R really is not the best drag. Have you ever been auto xing?

 

Kosei K-1's run $139 a piece last time I checked from TireRack.

If you're looking for a rim/tire set for $400 then definitely go for miata rims.

 

I saw a miata at school yesterday with 98+ GSR wheels, looked really good.

 

what kind of car am i running? i'm running a turbo camry. i've never been auto-xing before. even though i have suspension done it would prob be better in a straight line. well i'm sure the itr are lighter than my stock rollers. i have to decide by tomorrow if i want these rims or not. what size are these? 15" or 16"? what size are the miata? thanks for the help guys.

 

ITR rims are 17lbs a piece, unless the white ones weigh more.

 

any one else have anything to add to help my decision?

 

ITR are 15.6 unless your talking about JDM ones which are close to 17lbs.

 

don't know if you will be able to fit slicks on type r or miata wheels, i have bf drag radials on type r wheels and works great..

 

camry? 4-bolt? 5-bolt? Is the hole offset the same?? Miata... you must mean Millenia. ITR wheels are 5-bolt.. Some Millenia rims are lighter and will fit... didn't know miata rims were an option.

 

No, Im talking about U.S. 1997 ITR Champ White 5*114 rims. Weigh your rims and tell me if yours are lighter. I know mines weigh 17lbs. each with no center caps.

 

What did you weigh it on? EVERY where I look it says 15.6lbs.

 

my camry is 5 by 114.3 so the type r's would fit. is that 15.6 with or without tire? yea i was thinkin the bfg drag radials because i hear a lot of good things about them i one of th supra forums i go to. i have no clue whch miata the rims are from but the guys in the type-r area said that they are an option. any rims is an option as long as it will fit and is somewhat cheap and is light and that i can get a pretty good size tire on it for traction. how wide are the type r rims and the miata ones?

 

15.6 is the correct weight

 

Will Millena rims fit a DC-5? AN dhow much do they weigh?

 

Please tell me which year you personally weighed . I know how much mines weigh because I have about 6 white ITR rims sitting in front of me....BTW, they are for sale. Each weigh 17lbs. I would like to know which year has the 15.6lb 5*114 15" rim, as I would like a set of those.

 

ITR rims will not fit on a camry. the toyota pattern is larger. A pontiac grand am has the same bolt pattern as the ITR and my buddy's grand am rim didn't fit my sister's camry....
