These new wheels look more realistic than the current USGT wheels.........IMO. They remind me of the old Proline Gumby wheels......sort of.

So, I guess you are suggesting that everyone just shut up and accept the ugly things being shown, just like when Stratus bodies became all the rage and ruined the TC scene? Sure, let's do that, and while we're at it, have someone introduce a dish wheel for the "performancezzz" aspect. Then we can all go back to ugly bodies, ugly wheels, and low racer turnout because the cars look like crap.

Please stop being a selfish baby. Not everything is about you. Just because you dont like the look of a particular body doesnt mean everyone else must hate it too. There are plenty of other choices out there.

I have to admit, I feel badly that I started this mess. Let's just let people express their opinions and NOT attack them if they don't agree with yours. I've always felt that RCTECH was a friendly place, but right now this thread is proving that wrong.

If you guys look closely, the new wheels share the same part number as the existing mesh wheels set. So it will most likely be a running change. If you dig the mesh wheels, get them while you can. These new wheels are closer to weight to the older 6 spokes.

I'm also not a huge fan of these, but who can tell when they're running anyways? Throw an old set on for when you want to stare at the car on the stand lol.

Not sure how expressing an opinion is "selfish", but whatever, maybe you need to update your definitions of opinions. Yeah, those wheels look like ass.

Or, if your so inclined, buy the tires and whatever non-dish wheels you like and mount them yourself.
