pretty ghetto...but some people do this for reasonable reasons. One is that they were racing recently / are about to race and do not want to burn their good tires and smaller wheels help with the launch.

well as you kno, integs don't need traction in the rear... most of (actually, all of) the power comes from the front two tires. imagine the smaller diameter and lighter weight.... less wheel spin, and more traction.... you car is basically dragged by the front two.... many people do thing because they've probably came back from a (street) run, or getting prepared in case of one. we've been doing this here in L.A. for a long time now. now that you kno i guess you can do this and/or explain to others why.

because they haven't bought the front two wheels/tires yet.
that'd be my guess...

I know back in the day when i had my old car... I had Dunlop SP Sport 9000s on my rims and the front tires wore down pretty quick. They got to be almost bald, and it was the rainy season. I didn't have the money at the time for 2 new tires, so i just threw on my 2 stockers up front. i definately didn't do it to look cool, there was just no other choice for me.

most of (actually, all of) the power comes from the front two tires.

if you want to get technical (and from the phrasing/vocabulary you were using, it seems you want to sound like you are), unless it's an ITR or fitted with an aftermarket LSD, [most of] the power goes through one of your front tires, not two.

You're asking the wrong forum. This is Honda-Tech. We share technical information and the majority of us here aren't into that ricey **** at all. I really hate that because I own an Acura, many people assume I like to rice my car, and I have a Fast and Furious mobile.
