They do make a 15x6.5 version. But I know it's not skinny enough for what you want.

Welds !

I have seen a set of the 15" Lenso cut and re-welded to make a 3.5" wheel. It was done is Mexico.

I actually was browsing around and noticed that today... I called in and am waiting on a phone call back with a price on them... If so... 15" VPD's in White for the back with the 13x7.5's in the front would look great...

we had been thinking of making a mold for the Lenso VPD in a 15x3.5 but the cost of a skinny would be about the same as the fronts. around $300.00 for the pair.

the thing is Bogart skinnies are only $40 more and to me is lighter and nicer.

thats the reason we havent done the VPD in a skinny style.

but if people are willing to pay $300 for some LEnso VPD Skinnies, then we may get them done. but honestly.. how many people are really in the market for rear skinnies.

We'd rather design a new mold of inexpensive 13" drag wheels than a new skinny.

The sales of the VPD are already up.

So you think you'd spend $290 for a VPD skinny VS $340 for a Bogart Skinny?

Oh.....i didnt expect the vpd pricing to be so close to the bogart pricing...But just for reference....whats the average price of a 13" vpd front rim and a average price a 13" bogart?

Exospeed- does the VPD have a 5 lug 13" wheel that can clear CTR calipers?

I've borrowed friend's slicks because of the fact that they have the full set. Front and rear. Bogarts and Welds. I have lenso's personally and would love it if there were lenso skinny's out there. Makes the car look clean.

it would be about $300/pair of skinnies. and we would need an order of about 30pairs to get it started.
