16x8, 16x7, stock rims.. what cars? honda civics?

im trying to find a a set of cheap rims to use as drag rims. i know hondas run the same bolt pattern. i would prefer 16s, but im afraid that oem 16s will be too narrow. i want something i can mount 265s on pretty easily, so im really looking for 16x8. but aftermarket rims are fine too, i just want something cheap. miata forums? honda forums?

anyone have a spare tire rim they want to sell me for $50?

skinnies and drags... shooting for high 13s. we do what we can.

and just so everyone knows, 16s do fit on the rear of a 6mt, but not on the front. see.. mazda was taking drag racing in account with the rx8.

you can find ap1 s2000 wheels for about $150-200. They are 16x8r and 16x7f... Not sure if the offset would work though since it is pretty high. You might also consider stock rx7 wheels which are 16x8.

thanks chris, i already checked there. definitely checked out those enkeis. but they come with 4 more tires and 2 more rims than i want. especially for $925. even though thats a great price, cause the rims alone are ~$800. tires are probably another $600.

i want something in the sub $200 range. preferably sub $150 shipped range.
