|  Should I vent stock kit rims/tires?
Just building my Wraith kit now (using stock tires and rims for now) and if I plan on running occasionally in water, should I vent the wheels? If so, should I punch a couple of holes in the tire, enlarge the holes already in the rim, or seal the rim holes and just vent the tires?

Seal the wheels and vent the tires that way the water spins out while the vehicle moves Ren |

What's the difference if you seal the wheels or not?

I would vent the tire not the wheel. No need to worry about the hole in the wheel.

I personally seal my wheels. I live in a wet climate and constant soggy foams of varying weight depending on how saturated just annoys me. Also the added weight to the steering ain't good. If I live somewhere dry they would be vented. It still climbs and hooks up great with them sealed assuming you have a soft tire compound.
