Rims, believe it or not, do make a difference on a cars attributes in terms of acelleration and handling..
Mainly: - Response in turning - Speed loss - traction before sliding - priority in blocking (trust me on this one) - Recovery from sliding - slight accel loss/gain - looks (obviously)
If u dont really believe me in this, try it urself, the differences are subtle, but once u FT ur dress up and stick with a set up long enough, try switching out to something different...
I recommend the Texas shotguns as a good comparison, since most people have RCII, TCII, T7's and other grippy wheels
MOST aero parts affect a cars attributes, but wether or not u notice the difference is entirely upto the driver

the best battle rims are probably either the stellars, shotguns or X401's IMO.

QUOTE (Ban @ Today at 8:18 AM) | i think the RC T4 will make your car slide further than the usual. less, less grip. i tried it on my gdbc, and oh boi, its not gripping well. for me, the best rims for the imprezas are the Enkei RPF1s.. |
Amen to T4s, but it's the only one I've really run w/ the 350 that handles okay.
Took them off my WRX-F for just that reason, gonna try T6s in grey; total setup: light blue, white-blue flame2, blue neon, grey/white wheels, carbon-type bonnet+wing.
T6: Evo8, Z32 Gabbs: Evo8 (to a point), Evo5 RC-T4: Z32, Z33, GDB-F - both at lower HP to minimize overslide
It's probably been asked already (and I don't wanna go time-traveling), but what rims are recommended for the E9?
