Racing Rims and drag slicks needed!

Lets get some prices together folks.

I need 2 drag rims. I want them to be 14" and light as hell!!! They can be 7 to 8.5 inches wide.

I also need some BFD drag slicks or something to go on them!.

Can anyone find any of this?

I don't want something expensive like volk. I want some rims that i can beat the **** out of and not feel bad about cause they didn't cost me much.

I was thinking along the line of Lenso or something.

I prefer 14" rim. Remember this is only for drag racing at the track. I have major problems hooking up on my lauch.

Right now when i got to the track i'm using my stock steelies to race. That just isn't cutting it anymore.

What do you mean drag launch kit? Soon i'll be getting my clutch from you guys and then i'll have it installed with my flywheel too.

Eibach & Skunk 2 off the top of my head make them for several years of the Civic & Integra, not sure for ours.

Drag Launch Kits are engineered spring sets designed to improve 60-foot times and off the line traction at the drag strip. Supposedly your supposed to see 60-foot times reduced by 2 to 4 10ths of a second. Drag launch kits help reduce axle torque reaction. This is done by the use of carefully matched front & rear springs. The agressive rate front springs are supposed to improve load transfer to the drive wheels during launch.
