I like the looks of the CRC dish rims a lot better than anything else out there for 1/12th (everything else just looks funky) but it's all about performance.

I question everything

=Dan

lower rotating mass = quicker accelerating
short side wall = less foam flex = better handling

down side is less foam = less mileage

only thing I use though even for club racing
