HGI aluminum rims

[AC48]

Would aluminum rims like the ones from HGI slow down your car at all. I'm looking to get ones like these:

Why would you want AL rims though? THey probably wouldnt slow down your car, but they cost way to much money.

Any rims that are heivier than your stock ones will make it accelerate a little slower.They are mostly used for show cars.

Speed diff shouldnt be to bad for messing around, I know RamTech RC's new Viper onroad rims that I bought only weigh 28.5 grams per rim, that site doesn't show weight. For that price I would just get these and I did because imo the look and quality is no where near the same.

Blazer, have you tried those outon your car? I am looking to get those also from RAMTech.

I thought it would be awsome to have alloy rims like on real cars... also they look like porsche wheels

Yup I tried and love them. My car is faster than heck so I really couldn't tell you if it made a speed difference. It is too fast for me that's all I know! I will take a picture give me a minute.

Yeah that was my mini-t, just a sneak peak hahahaha. That was without the modified motor! That was just a plain ol spankin new speed 300 and a Li-ion that is supposed to be a 7.2 but is pushing 9v ooh well havent toasted the spy yet! doesn't even get warm.

So thats a yes for aluminum wheels?

I've sold quite a few aluminum 26 mm rims to people all over the country. If you are a professional racer, then they probably aren't for you. But, alot of my customers say they love the look, and they don't see any problem with racing on the weekends with them.

No, i'm not a racer...just a basher looking for awsome wheels!!:thumbsup:

:whhooo:

For a second, I thought it was your TC doing the wheelies. lol

RamTech is the man and the wheels quality are unlike any other aluminum rims I have seen on the market. The look is better than a picture could do justice. He makes a great product and the price is great for what you get. (remember you get what you pay for in this hobby. So AC48 alum rims are a yes, at least RamTech's.

ramtechs wheels are too much more detailed than alot of the wheels out there.
