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.
:D

homemade slicks. ;)

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

Re:Doesn't anybody have anything in stock?
 

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.

Re:Doesn't anybody have anything in stock?
 

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.

Re:Doesn't anybody have anything in stock?
 

what about summit :-X you can get wheels for like 35 a peice.

Re:Doesn't anybody have anything in stock?
 

Well I just got off the phone with John over at www.mandhtires.com and I guess they can't get that size tire right now. I ended up getting the 23 x 8 x 13 inch slicks though and they should be more than enough for my car now and should work well when it's built. I would defintely recommend going through them if your looking for slicks. I ordered online yesterday and by the time I woke up today I had 2 messages on my phone and one email from them trying to get ahold of me. That's damn good service if you ask me. :)

i have an extra set of diamond racing 13x7 wheels, 4x100 pattern that i want to sell, but idont know how much shipping would be from missouri.

I bought them from a guy who used them on his autocross car, i guess they use fattie tires becuase they came mounted with 235/30/13's or some ------- crazy small ---- like that.

Re:Doesn't anybody have anything in stock?

my mom doesnt limit my internet time.

Re:Doesn't anybody have anything in stock?
 

I made as many phone calls and emailed as many people as I could man. Those wheels are made in Thailand, and everyones order is backed up.

I say go with some bogarts anyways, they are blingers.

im in the same boad. I cant' find them anywhere. :(

xtreme auto salon has two Weld racing 13x8 but they want 750 + tax and they are used and banged up. So I told them to stick them up their ass. Im not going to pay 750 for a used banged up set. Im not stupid.

Anyway good luck finding some. let me know if you have any luck. Ill do the same. Stefan aka 98ctr
