New or Old style rims, which is better?

[jmodic]

Anybody knows which rims are better the new style or old style? With regards to off road performance. Style I like the new ones better but that is just my opinion.

I doubt either has a performance advantage over the other.

No real difference, only when balancing...

I like to call them wheels.

 

[Mayhem]

I don't like any of them to be honest... Someone suprise me for christmas and send me something nicer. Or... for Monday?

I like to call them wheels.

Wheels are made of:

• Center bore
• Hub
• Disc or spokes
• Rim

Every wheel has a rim, but so does every toilet bowl.

Only the whelrims that are on the 2010's are the fastest!!! Since 5.4>6.2 ask Ironman when launched his 5.4 over test hill and blew out his rear window!!! Or when he kicked the crap outa all the 6.2's in the races!!! See its the metal whelrims are made of on the 2010's with the 5.4 its go fast metal!!

No difference at all.

The difference of the rims is that the new ones have the balancing weights mounting inside while the older ones are mounted outside. In terms of off roading, the newer rims would be better since you have less of a chance for your weights to fall off. However, there are no major benefits between one or the other

Inside stick on weights don't do as well in mud. Mud gets caught between the brake caliper and wheel and the weights get pulled off. Clip on weights usually balance with less weight (and balance better in my balancing experience) because they are further from the center.
