I trimed maybe a quarter inch off. Not a whole lot so the foam and tire would stay stiff.

Hi Andy,
I am considering switching over to use JC's B4 wheels. These Jconcept Spoke Wheels looks great, but I would like to know if they have any "real" advantage over the original B4 wheels. Have anyone tried them?

Would they cause the car to slide more at corners and also less stable on the straight, since air could easily flow thru the spokes? I always had the impression that dish wheels act like the side dams of wings, to a certain degree. So these spoke wheels would not have that effect. Am I correct?
Thanks very much.

its on the car right now b/c the foams in my bar gave up. and they are not as good i cant get on the power and side to side its looser by a touch as well. i actually did go faster on them in the heats b/c i couldnt push (imagine that) but if i applied the same restaint in driving on the bar i would have gone quicker still. the other 9 cars in the Afinal were on bars for the rear.

I bought a high flow illuzion b4 body yesterday wich is my favorite body for my buggy. I've bought many of them and have had no complaints. However the one I got yesterday was not up to the same quality as the others. The lexan on the left half of the body was noticably thinner than usual and there is a wierd sort of ghosting of the top of the window in the middle of the clear window section. I assume this is just a random manufacturing flaw but I thought you might appreciate the feedback. (It's still my favorite b4 body.)

Regarding the JConcept wheels, did anyone in the A main use them? My only concern is potentially reduced side bite and straight line strability due to aerodynamics.
