wassup guys, 88 dx hatch wheighs 1940lbs without me
currently it has 13' steel rims, so how many lbs can i save with hx or vx rims?
another quick q's.. approximately, how many horses do i need to hit 13's with b16?
suppose the wheight is 2050 with me

 

vx rims weigh 8lbs and hx rims weigh either 11 or 12lbs. I can't remember right now. Your really not going to save that much weight from those rims. I have vx rims and these things are like pizza cutters and they spin all over the road. Not very many tire choices when you only have 13x5 to work with. You might be able to crack high 13's with a stock b16a with the usually bolt ons with the addition of slicks of course. Considering you only weigh 2050. But you might need a extra 10 more hp at the wheels to make it possible so I"m going to make a ghetto estimate of about 145-150hp to crack 13's

 

so, hx would be better than vx for wide tire selection.. thanks a lot

 

yeah definatly go with hx, 13's look really small imo, hx wheels will give you a good stance and good tire selection.

 

Alternately, consider Miata rims. They are more widely available and a lot of times cheaper. They weigh 10.8lbs. on a 14 x 6 rim. You'll have to get centers bored out to the civic sized 56.1 mm but any machine shop can do that for $50-75.

 

hes better off checking VW rims they are also 100x4

 

thanks much guys
ill go with hx maybe.. but also check the miata and vw
