Does anyone use VX wheels as "skinnies" for the rears, specifically for the Integra chassis? I was thinking of using them in along with my g-Forces in the front to drag. Wondering if there would be any significant difference between that and a regular GS-R wheel/tire combo or is there a certain power/ET level when they will be more useful?

I know for some, like NHRA, they say that you are not allowedd to run the spares. I actually tried this last year and got turned around and told to go back to the pits to change tires. Not sure if you can run them at a test/tune type of thing though.

Doughnuts? You mean the tires that are only rated to about 35mph? Hey maybe that's why tracks do not allow them.

probably because they have a max speed rating of like 50 m.p.h., and you should be going alot faster than that
i rock 13" steelies with 155 tires, looking to get some vx's though and hopefully some 145 tires
