Alloy rims and tires - Page 3

how are these gona improve performance? id think that with heavier wheel weight they would be a little slower off the line.

**added note** that would be fine if it looks extra dope.

they add performance because they are very wide, plus the tires you order off of that site are wide and have tons of traction. these 2 factors will definitely improve handling

Exactly right pojo. Plus on another side note, if you do a full size wheel mod on your car(which people do for looks and performance) The wheels weigh 2.2g (all 4) while the alloy ones weigh 4.4g (all 4)

Ok, there's 2.2g difference right? Some people (including myself) will add 1 or 2 extra batteries for performance adding all that extra weight. You have to look at it like this, will the pros out weigh the cons, and with alloy rims and extra batts, the answer is yes.
These wider tires help more than you could imagine. My car with these rims on it weighs 24.2g, while a stock bit weighs in at 23.3. (don't know where the extra gram went, but the scale doesn't lie) my car with the alloy rims runs better, faster, and straighter than any other car I have...

I'm running out of closing techniques....lol you gotta be sold now.

well count me in also...I'm form europe but I don''t like very much the idea ordering from the german site so I would be interested to shop from tiny...

SO get the wheels!!!!
If the made it for about 15 bucks I'm in....

(The postage is minmum because of the low weight+small size...
(1 bit kit weights around 10 set's of alloys+slicks so shipping is nothing...)

GET THEM...GET THEM...GET THEM....

P.S:Great idea...(Tiny before ordering contact me because I might can get them from a better source arounf 9-11 $...it might be nothing but I believe it could help..)

oh come on how can you not be sold at this point?? maybe there are some idiots out there who would rather hand craft thier own rims out of that extra pipe in the basement!

I would buy a pair or two from Tiny's shop. Those are BA's

mattgoldey · #41 12-09-2002, 01:48 PM

Depending on the cost, I'll be in for a pair or two.

TemjinNeo78 · #42 12-09-2002, 01:52 PM

Bryan4691 · #43 12-09-2002, 01:57 PM

I think there are more than enough people for Tiny to get these. Does anyone know if Tiny has seen this thread?

How about it Tiny?

Newbster · #44 12-09-2002, 02:49 PM

I was looking forward to buying them but from Germany the s/h would be pricey (I've heard around $15.00) I was just about to order the Rally Sports also despite their s/h.

They would go on my:
