The rules do state 6"max...
But in the interests of cost cutting should it be changed to 5" max...
or are people happy for some to run 5" wheels and some to use 6".
Remembering these cars don't produce enough power to warrant 6" wheels... it is cosmetic only.

Yep it is.
This is why people should vote YES to allowing 10x6's :wink:

10x5s look "good"; 10x6's look freaking awesome :)

I agree, won't they look funny in their shiny cars and lycra race suits when you pull off a fearless overtaking move in your basher. Plus, willy will give you plenty racing room so you don't scratch his little black beast. :D

I can see there will be a competition to see who will be the first to t-bone that lovely black duco, with full bragging rights (and piccies) to be posted on here! :D

What do the rules say about stewards inquiries?

hey hey HEY!!! I'll be putting some 6 inch shoes on my baby when funds allow it... I'll still be racing but i want to represent at the same time.

Dont forget that we are basically selling the brand when we race it. People see, people buy.
