13 inch rims
So i am getting into autox these days and looking into buyin some race rubber. Hoosier is having a sale for 13 inch rubber for only 92 dollars.
The only problem is i cant find 13 inch rims... can anyone tell me where i can get 13 inch rims (preferably lightweight) for under 100 each?

Re: 13 inch rims
1st - they're wheels. bikes have rims.
2nd - look at classing, you don't want to be thrown in to SP with that car... i'd recommend getting some performance shocks and maybe some grippy stock sized tires.

Just remember Hoosiers dont last for ever, or any R compound tire. You can expect about 40 killer runs and then they will start to fall off. I'm not saying that they are going to fall on there face but new tires are always faster.
But again what car and class are you running.

Big brakes are a total waste of money for autocross or even daily driving. New rotors, more agressive pads, clean fluid, and maybe SS lines are all you need. Larger brakes are to help disipate heat build up. Also a larger brake system on a FWD car will rob valuable power as its more rotating mass. 13's will actually help gearing out of a corner as well.
