great collection arch2b... wondering... while using for them for 10 years... did they develop any kinks or dents? like has durability ever been an issue while racing? i ask because most of mine are on shelf queens...
thanks for posting guys... squares really complete the look of these autoscales... just lovin it... :D |
i did manage to put a good nick in the outer rim face of a pair by running a modified mr-02 outside on asphalt and loosing the car in a pot hole a couple inches in size. enough to swallow the car. the front wheel hit the other side at just the right angle at absolute full speed. i kept using the wheels and just took a nail punch to tap the nick back out.
the common worry is they are delicate. i can attest to my personal experience that they are indeed very durable despite the delicate nature of the design. i've bent/broken far more plastic wheels over the years. |
i think i do remember reading that fateful incident a couple years back... and it's nice to know that durability as well as looks are indeed a quality that one will consider when getting these rims...
found more pics... http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...i/IMG_2515.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...i/IMG_2530.jpg |

kinda looked at this (rear wheel wells against rear tire orientation) and figured that the body might be actually designed for a 96mm setting (presently its at the L - 94mm setting)... don't really know if the real thing is designed or supposed to look this way...

If you're considering using these as dedicated racing rims -- which is perfectly fine considering their weight and quality -- my only advice is to not glue directly to the aluminum if you want to keep your wheels looking nice. Wrap two layers of Scotch tape (translucent, standard type) around each wheel, cut off excess tape with a knife, then glue the tire to the taped rim. Also makes tire removal very easy, just rip it off. No need to cut into your rim. :) |
