Which rims are the best?

[MNP]

Like the title says which are the best for drag racing?

 

[W3H5]

I hardly think the choice of rims make any difference to the performance of a car. I do believe they are changeable purely for aesthetic reasons and what makes them 'the best' is a matter of what you like to look at.

In drag racing they can make a minimal difference offline in speed test.

Depends on the car MNP. Some work better with customs some don't

 

[W3H5]

Really? I didn't know that!

 

[viperbeatsvette]

Really? I didn't know that!

It's a very small difference but yes they can alter times

I know that, I guess it was misunderstood so i'll rephrase it.

Which aftermarket rims are the best?

I was telling w3hs, yes I did misunderstand though.

You'll just have to look for yourself

Misunderstood my question. I'm MNP and that's my name in your answer, so like I said and rephrased: which 'aftermarket' rims are the best, in peoples' opinions of them and only them.

Looking doesn't help, but I guess you could easily say you don't know like I don't. I'll await more answers from others.

 

[KaroSVTR]

There all the same. I thought you would know this coming from your so called expertise.
The only difference is the look. Performance wise it don't make a difference at all.

 

[MNP]

So viper was wrong? I'm confused now.

 

[KaroSVTR]

So viper was wrong? I'm confused now.

No I think he ment there is a differences In stock rims and aftermarket.

 

[W3H5]

I know this isn't my thread but I'm also confused.

...So custom rims offer some kind of slight performance boost over stock rims. The difference between custom rims is 0, am I right?

Is there any proof for this or are these conclusions really guesses? I just can't image something that minor being implemented in GT.

I know right, but I'll wait for more opinions before I put my curiosity to rest. Would like to see some sort of proof too as it's a dilly of a pickle but without 100% proof I really keep an open mind as to their effects.

 

[KaroSVTR]

One of the guys made a thread about this. What cars run faster with and without Stocks and Aftermarkets.
Example: the RX7 runs faster stock runs then aftermarket.

Aftermarket rims^

Stock rims^

 

[MNP]

That's about individual cars, i'm looking for a definitive answer on the rims themselves, I would hazard a guess and say he just changed rims and re-ran the car, not taking into account the difference and retuning for that. This is the kind of experienced answer i'm looking for.

 

[Diogo]

There you go

 

[KaroSVTR]

Thanks Diogo.
Like I said there was a thread made already. And c'mon I'm not Gona slap different rims on it and a different slower or faster tune that's just stupid. If you don't believe me then that's on you. Just trying to help.
It is what it is I guess.

 

[MNP]

Yes, a thread about STOCK RIMS. I said and repeated that this is about the differences between AFTERMARKET rims, not the difference between cars that use standard rims or aftermarket. You've had your say on it, in which you tried to mislead me and others, so please leave this thread now as i'm after opinions from different people and not about what I think i've made clear already which is the difference between standard and aftermarket rims that you keep referring to, if you don't know or can't tell the difference between two AFTERMARKET rims then you can't help me in finding out what I want to know. So please just let other people reply now, you've said all you need to.

 

[Diogo]

No. The Aftermarket rims are all same , they make the same difference.

 

[kennyblanco]

@MNP- No need for all the hostility dude. The question of whether aftermarket rims offered any performance advantage over stock ones was brought up:

..So custom rims offer some kind of slight performance boost over stock rims.

I believe Karo's answer was in response to that.

As far as this:

i'm looking for a definitive answer on the rims themselves, I would hazard a guess and say he just changed rims and re-ran the car

If you are trying to solely isolate the advantages of one wheel over another then the method used was the best option. Retuning would introduce more variables to the equation making it impossible to clearly distinguish the effects of the test. You could always try it out for yourself. And you will find that the effects, as with any other aspect of tuning is car specific. 👍

 

[MNP]

There is no hostility mate, I don't care about their constant immature insults slung at me but once again I will repeat the question in hopes it might be read again and understood, I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STANDARD VS AFTERMARKET. I mean one set of Rays vs another set of Rays. Try to forget the standard rims and look at the pretty shiny rims you can change to. Ultimately I have tested this and I know that almost every rim makes a difference even miniscule as it may be. I asked simply which do people think is the best in hopes someone here actually had spent enough time to figure out which were the best in terms of cars THAT DO GO FASTER WITH AFTERMARKET RIMS. It's not that hard to understand, take standard rims out of the equation as i've now repeated about 5 times, they are not what i'm interested in, if I wanted to know if standard rims are better than aftermarket rims I would have actually looked at that thread as I have seen the title before, but that is based purely on people simply changing their rims and running the same tune.

Not to mention his identical 0-60 the slightly faster 0-100 could be just simply one better shift, in my experience changing rims has changed both 0-60, 0-100 and 1/4 mile time but I thought as I have read people state here, that they know the ins and outs of dragging on GT5. This is a pretty simple thing in my opinion, not hard to give a straight answer for.

Is it not obvious from the two pictures above that something is occuring with the different rims beit standard or otherwise that needs to be understood to make the most of tuning ingame? Or is it a case that nobody else has delved into testing these things enough that they make one tune, get happy with that, change rims, see a difference then not ask themselves why that difference is occurring? I thought sdme of the unpaid pros would be open minded enough to test these sorts of things, just like trying new things with launches and any other undecided part that could mnake such a miniscule change unless the tune is optimised for that choice? Guess i'm the only one that really wants to get to the bottom of this or am the only one interested in understanding this for the greater good of my tuning and anyone else who would check this thread?

Because from my testing each wheel will produce different results slightly but these results could blow out quite a bit depending on how well they work with the tune on the car at the time. But ok, you guys have had your say, leave it for others now as I want as many opinions from different people, not the same people trying to convince me otherwise.

 

[Diogo]

Damn ! You writte will size texts just to answer a question post .

Do you have a life your you live by trolling yourself ?

Calm the farm. No one takes it this seriously. It's a game and to be honest something so minuscule as different types of rims changing 0.001 of a second at most offline (which means all of nothing online).

Yes im talking about custom rims vs other custom rims. If they make any change at all it's not worth the time it would take to properly investigate it. And we all say there's hostility so you may not see it but the whole community and many on PSN see it.

If you wanna test it or find out go ahead and stop arguing with everyone here and do it. 👍

Just leave him. No point arguing.

 

[MNP]

I'm so sorry i'm more of a perfectionist and more thorough in things I like to know than most but that's what teaches people new things and doesn't make people think 'oh my god he's doing some cheat' until they find out it's something as simple as this. Like I said I wanted other peoples' opinions which is about the rims, not my attitude, not your opinion of me, not the PSNs opinion of me either.

Quit replying you've had your say the 'we' community has had their say, now please go and have your little 'we' community gang ups on people elsewhere.

Stop degenerating this into an arguement and find somewhere else to post I've asked already too many times, you've had your say now please stop posting stuff that has nothing to do with my question, how serious I take it has nothing to do with any individual or group, only myself.

 

[viperbeatsvette]

He needs to spoil what others have and he suffers from the "must have last word" syndrome.

I've said to him stop arguing cos there is no point. We wouldn't 'gang up' if we didn't see your attitude. What goes around comes around. What you give is what you get in return.

And we were fine here before you came and started many arguments and disagreements.

 

[Diogo]

Just leave him. No point arguing.

Then with you keep arguing with him

Sorry I had to

 

[Slash]

Oh but I thought you knew all this stuff?

 

[Maccer_42]

When the aftermarket rims are better for a car, I personaly find the VOLK TE37's to be the best or at least the most consistant, and the BBS wheels to be the worst, as I remember when I was tuning a DC2 I set a time with the VOLK's changed to the BBS wheels and I coudn't match my time anymore. But on other cars I havn't noticed a difference. But I usualy go for the VOLK TE37's when available now, probably just due to a placebo effect.

 

[MNP]

Maybe I do know this stuff, maybe I want people to be honest and not hide stuff like they think it holds some value, I have already given my best tunes to people i've met in that room for the first time because they are of good character, not because they are fast or have chances of beating everyone, regardless of those facts I teach people everything I know not holding back secrets that I think make me better than anyone else.

But once again you drag this off-topic, please slash, karo, viper and diogo do not reply here anymore, i've asked you to stop and you carry on which is not a good thing in the eyes of the moderators, not to mention the pile of useless posts in here now that are just no help whatsoever.

This is exactly the kind of replies i'm looking for. You might like to know I also think exactly this, I prefer the look of the BBS but I have found them to make my times slower and my next wheel of choice is exactly the same, TE37s. This is what i'm looking to confirm with others who have actually tested it and if I had said my opinion in the first place I feel it would have skewed peoples' responses in terms of being bias for one reason or another. Thanks for replying the way that I expected in the first place. Thank you.

As you know though, these rims are available on all standards I think and I really want to figure out a sort of order because of not being able to put these on all cars, I have my thoughts on the other rims but I wanted to hear other peoples' because like yourself, some of us have actually 'taken it that serious' enough to want to get to the bottom of this, I just want everyone to know and/or share their opinion on this matter because I have some cars less than .005 off the fastest times i've been messaged from them and it seems not matter what I do it feels like something is holding my own personal tunes back slightly. So thanks again for being honest and proving i'm not the only one who has taken notice of this and i'm sure like me, you would like to know what the truth is behind these proven facts. Out of interest Maccer, did you notice you could not match 0-60's and 0-100's when changing them? I have tried about 5-6 rims on one of my most consistent fast cars and could not get them to match even after many many runs.
