Namco had finally revealed some details on the rims of MT3
http://www.bandainamcogames.co.jp/aa/am/vg...nmaxi3/special/

I'll try to translate as much as possible, and the rest will be on ur own
btw, I'll get to the main point and ignore the details

all wheels are in the order
-------------------------------------------------------
ENKEI:

user posted image
NT03 + M
used for endurance and for heavy cars
recommended for GT-Rs

user posted image
TARMAC WRC EVO LIMTED EDITION FORGED
best match for the Lan Evos

user posted image
JS + M
lightweight and brake-friendly
recommend for Silvia or MR2 or mid-weight class cars

user posted image
RPF1
design for feedback, lightweight and very stiff
the design and varieties of colors best matches any car for appearance (rice)

user posted image
RS + M
very stiff and solid handling

user posted image
RC - T4
recommended for Imprezza-based cars

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RAYS:

user posted image
VOLK RACING TE37
lightweight wheel and very stiff
recommended for big heavyweight cars (eg. R34, Supra RZ)

user posted image
VOLK RACING CE28N
lightweight, break-friendly, recommended for midweight cars

user posted image
VOLK RACING GTM
recommended for sedan-type cars such as Celsior, legacy or chaser

user posted image
GramLights 57F
lightweight
recommended for RX8, Silvia, or 180SX

user posted image
A / X X401
midweight wheel, very strong
recommended for Celsior or Aristo (Ricer wheel)

user posted image
VERSUS GABBANA
just a Ricer wheel, looks great for "royal" cars

user posted image
VOLK RACING GT-C
good grip? (maybe)

user posted image
VERSUS BL-10 - SX
a Ricer wheel for Sedans such as Celsior or for Hi-Ace

user posted image
TEXAN Shotgun
you thought the last wheel was the best, then you're right, this rim has fantastic grip, and is very light. Also gives you more boost
great looks with Hi-Ace body kit C
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Watanabe:

EIGHT SPOKE
Devil Z's rims
lightweight and attractive
this wheel matches with varieties of cars in terms of looks and handling

CYCLONE
lightweight and is made for handling rather than for looks
this wheel is good to train footwork

STELLER
Ricer wheel...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

YOKOHAMA

SuperADVAN RacingVer.2
the "three clawed" wheel, famous for the R32 back in MT2 is now pitifully a RICER wheel

AVS MODEL T5
wheel that helps reduce car's weight, this wheel is lighter than stock wheels

AVS MODEL T6
this wheel help in height performace

AVS MODEL T7
a Chaser ricer wheel

ADVAN TCII
lightest yokohama wheel, very stiff

ADVAN RS
lightweight design
for European looks (I guess, since Gemballa has their own set of wheels)
this wheel is kind of half handling (lightweight), and half Rice (Eur appearance)

ADVAN RCII
strong and gentle handling, made for rally cars
LanEvos and Imprezzas are welcome to use this wheel

ADVAN RGII
this wheel is used for grip (maybe)

I will try to upload the pictures soon so ppl won't get them confused

for now, ppl can distinguish between Ricer wheels (which are useless) and wheels that actually make a difference in handling

some cars have recommended wheels and some don't, but mostly, ppl that drive Evos, Imprezzas or GT-Rs can use the wheels recommended above.

stellars are hk's choice of battle rims...heavy, able to take pushes and rams and be able to push back with power.

Damn, did you translate all of this yourself? You should think about joining a subber group that subs WM so everybody can continue on with the story without guessing what everybody is saying.

Ack! So my favorite rims are just a showpiece? Ugh! Time for an upgrade.

I see some recommendations for some of my cars already.

Any ideas for these cars:
Mitsubishi GTO
Mazdaspeed 6
Toyota Corolla

just what like the translation said..Yokohama RCII rim

my evo 9 equip with this..and im pretty happy with it

as for Aero A or C..just switch back to A after a long usage with C..but i cannot give you any feedback yet..but my early prediction Aero C is better dan Aero A

but maybe Aero B IS better than the other 2 laugh.gif

but i never use it becoz of those 4 big headlight!
