Doesn't anybody have anything in stock?
 
Well the Battle of the Import at Pacific Raceways in Washington is on the 28th of this month so I decided to buy some new slicks and drag wheels. I did a little research and decided on MH 24.5x8.5x13 slicks and silver Lenso VPD 13x7.5 racing wheels. I am planning on building my motor this winter so I decided on the 24 inch slicks instead of the 22 inch. The lenso wheels are also pretty cheap and I like the way they look on my car.

I searched around a little bit and honda-tech has a few sponsers that sell them so I send out a few emails and give a few people a call. Well I guess everybody is fresh out of what I want. I have searched quite a few online forums seeing if I could get some used wheels/tires, but haven't really had any luck (I really wanted new ones anyways). I'm really not sure what I am going to do, but I need some slicks before the 28th. I guess I will just keep searching online and hopefully get lucky, but I don't have much time. I thought ordering 2 weeks ahead of when I needed them would be fine, but I guess not. I could probably get some different wheels and different size slicks, but I really don't want to spend $600 on something that I don't want, ya know?

My car is pretty dialed in right now so I was all excited to get my own slicks for the track and run 12's in them. I might be able to borrow some slicks again or hopefully find a used set, I am just really disapointed I couldn't get the wheels/tires I wanted. :(

go to the junkyard, get some tires and do burn-outs on them.

homemade slicks. ;)

on the topic...
that sucks when you need something now, and no one has them. it always seems to work this way...

i'm looking for some right now too, not the easiest thing to come across at a good price. i was looking at the same lenso wheels.

Hell I don't even care about the price anymore. At first I was trying to shop around, but now I just want them before the 28th. Hopefully some place will get these in stock soon and I can just overnight them.
