They have these
13x10" 4x4.5"BC Silver D-Lite 4" Back Space

for like $43 a piece. I just have never heard of this "real wheels" company. I also know nothing about wheels. Would 13s clear my brakes? And would the back space be too much? or not enough?

No clue if 13" would clear the brakes. I'd cut a 6" piece of string and hold one end to the center of the axle and see if you can get it to go past the calipers.

Backspacing. The distance from the mounting surface to the insidelip of thewheel. This measurement is closely related to offset (without actually measuring, backspacing is about equal to [Wheel Width / 2] + [Offset] + [about 1/4] ).

I do think a nice set of chrome or silver steelies would look super sexy...

yeah... i meant for my car.

I really want to pick up a set of 6th gen SE alloys, still waiting on the woman at work for her tranny to die... seriously. I look to see if her car is there every day... if her car isnt there Im going to immediately ask what happened to it and offer $100-200 for the wheels and offer to change them over in the parking lot.

They should have named them SEx wheels because thats what they really are.



Theyre really similar to the 5th gen 7-spoke alloys

IDK, I originally found those on the bisimoto site, they were under spinwerkes, and the main catagory the rims had spinwerkes on them but those specific ones had a picture of the circle.

I am trying to do some research on this "real racing" company to see if they are any good, and to see if 13s would even fit.

circle racing has some 15x10s for like $72 a piece or something, but they are over 20lbs a piece. And I just noticed like all these rims are meant for like dirt circle track racing.
