New DUB City Rims
I just wanted you all to know... I went to TRU today and found new DUB City diecasts with new rims.
CTS: ($2.99)
These nice 5-spoke rims are slightly smaller than Bit fronts. I've seen the same style rims on trucks. Those truck rims are more the size of Bit rears.

MR2 kit: ($4.99)
This kit comes with 2 sets of rims, 5-spoke w/disc brakes and 7-spoke w/disc brakes. They're about the size of Bit rears.

I think the wheels are labled wrong! Check it out. The Formula-7's are the 5-spoke. Makes more sense that the 7-spokes should be called "Formula-7".

Unfortunately, no.
Traction is decent, as long as you don't have too powerful a motor and the driving surface isn't too smooth. I have been able to drift with DUB's using the right combination of motor and surface.
I guess this is a more "looks" mod than a performance mod. 
Here are some of my cars with DUB's.

Micro S2000:
Is this the R34 you're talking about?
This R34 is sitting on the R32 chassis. The rear end is not lowered and the front is tab dropped two layers.
Click HERE. I worte a lowering how-to. It can be applied to just about any body.

Thanks! BTW, this car just won me second place (a tie actually) in the recent RC Mod.com contest! Woo Hoo!
The color is a metallic green. Custom mixed by myself. I was playing around with mixing colors. I was after a lime green but I got a mediumd green instead... Oh well, came out alright I'd say!
I used Model Master Acryl colors.
Rims are DUB City "Street Low" 1/64 die cast.
Here's the gold version...
