Thanks, all! Was hoping to keep it domestic, but I think I’ll bite the bullet and give it a try from Europe.

Anyone ever notice that the Gravity pre-mounts that are white 6 spokes have a pink tint to them??! It not just the pic either, every set I've seen in real life looks like this. I like the style,(volk racing?) but the tint is a bit off when matching to the cars paint.....I know I'm being petty, but its just weird.
I wonder why?

Now this goes back around 5 years or so ago. The first Gravity pre-mount USGT tires that I got had a very white wheel. They were horribly brittle. I expect that there were many complaints about them. It's my recollection that the pink-tinted wheels were a different compound that was supposed to be more durable.

The pink tint was purposely made just for my paint scheme😜

Can y'all help me with gearing for my new USGT ride?

XRay T4 '17, Gravity motor. Currently I have a 96 spur and 47 pinion - at least that's what I'm seeing. I will be racing on black carpet, BTW.

you’re probably going to want a smaller spur

47/97 will give you a 3.9. It’s probably going to take some trial and error to find what works. I’ve found gearing to be the one thing that gets only vague answers.

I think around 3.4 is where i ended up.
