Default Wheels

Putting this here so I dont get flamed. So other than looking good is there any performance benefit to using the $100+ wheels as opposed to just running stockers with weights?

I find beadlocks easier to screw into metal than plastic, but the big advantage is durability, after so much weight the hex area blows out pretty easy on plastic wheels.

Wheels manufactures are offering lots of options on wheel width, or easy weight changing options theres several with moving mass always at the lowest position in the wheel. So yeah big time reasons other than looks IMO.
