diamond racing wheels
 
Hi,
For those of you that have ordered from these guys before, what kind of lead time are we lookin' at?
I am thinking of some 13's with a 5" backspace with some 22x8.0x13 slicks.

those bastards are heavy, require special lugs, not hubcentric (PITA to balance on newer machines.

After all is said and done, Lenso's win.

I've been looking into lensos as well.
Where is the best/cheapest place to purchase them??

The problem with Lenso's is that they look fancy.

Steelies FTW!

Thats what I'm sayin. Plus they're a bit cheaper. They would be going on this:

I'd like to preserve the stock look. Maybe I can screw on some hubcaps!

Diamond's come in 0.135", 0.095", and 0.065", with only the 0.135" being DOT-legal. The last set of Diamonds I saw were 13X8's, they were not heavy at all, but I dunno whether they were 0.095" or 0.065" pieces.

They would be for track use only.
According to the Diamond Racing site:

"The 13" spun rim shells are also .075" thick and the 14" spun shells are .095" thick."
They weigh in @14lb each.
I guess they are a bit heavier than Lensos.

it also says this:

Most 4 lug and non-race hubs are drilled 9/16" for use with 1/2" studs.
I don't know what std. Honda studs are.

All you need is a mullet and the number of your favorite nascar driver and you set. Those things look like stock car wheels. But they are cheap considering the choices you have.
