im gauging interest in the circle racing wheels... i was wondering if anyone had them on their fb's? im looking for some pix and experiences people have had with them.... im interested in two sizes they have which are 13x5.5 and 13x7, which size do you guys think ill be better off with? also they talk about back spacing and they have different sizes, what can that be about? thanx in advance

I've got them for my track wheels. I have 13x7 wheels with 225/45 hoosiers on them. Two sets. I bought them when they had their Christmas end of season special for $25/wheel. Excellent deal. I really like the wheels. Don't get the 13x5.5, you get the 13x7. I have the 13x7 with 4 in offset and a set with 3.5 offset. They fit fine.

I like those, they look really good on your car. I dont' know if they would look quite as good on a white car though. :(

what if i go with 13x5.5 in the front and 13x7 in the rear would that be dumb?? the reason i ask is right now i have 175 in the front and 205 in the rear...

With the 50/50 weight distribution on your car, small front and wide rear tires will make the car push a lot (understear). If you happen to have those tires, it shouldn't matter much for daily street driving. You can also fit 205's on a 5.5 rim. I did it on my stock + wheels. Getting 7" now will allow you the luxury of upgrading tires easier in the future.

i drive the car on the weekends only (for now)... the tires i mentioned i already have them... so i think imma go with the 5.5(front) and 7 (Rear)...
