Associated RC 18T Alloy Front Standard 3d Sinkage Rims (5 Poles) by GPM AR0527F  [AR0527F]

Front alloy sinkage rims for 18T

This is an RC-scale front rim set produced by GPM for the Associated RC 18T platform, offering a standard 3D sinkage profile with a 5-pole spoke layout. The item is presented as an alloy front rim intended for use on the front axle of 18T short-course style models, and it is described by the manufacturer name and part code for fit reference.

Installation is straightforward for hobbyists familiar with wheel swaps: it replaces the stock front rim and uses the existing wheel mounting hardware and hex interface on the 18T hubs. Basic tools such as a hex driver and a wheel nut wrench are typically sufficient; check that hub threads and wheel hex fit are clean before assembly to ensure proper seating.

On-track role and tuning: these rims are intended to affect tyre seating and front-end behaviour by the sinkage profile and spoke layout, allowing fine tuning of tyre bead fit and alignment with certain tyre inserts. As with any aftermarket rim, test fit with your chosen tyres and trim or adjust bead seating as needed to maintain predictable steering and consistent wear.

Maintenance advice: keep the alloy surfaces free of grit and inspect mounting faces and threads periodically. Replace any damaged wheel nuts or hex adaptors to avoid wheel runout. Because this is an RC-scale accessory, use only on model vehicles and follow standard model maintenance practices.
