PN Racing machined 6-spoke Mini-Z wheels

Coming from PN Racing and made for the Kyosho Mini-Z 2WD and similar palm-sized on-road cars are machined 6-spoke wheels. The white colour rims are available in narrow, medium and wide specifications to suit all tyres and track width settings. While offering a cool and sturdy design their construction allows to add different diameter carbon fibre outer slip rings that do away with the need to add unsightly CA glue walls in order to counter traction rolling in high-bite track conditions. Instead the carbon fibre rings can be attached to the outside, not only helping against traction rolling but also reinforcing the sidewall of the tyre for improved durability.
