Associated RC18T Front Alloy Swirl Surface Rim (3 Poles) by GPM AR0305F  [AR0305F]

Front alloy rim for RC18T

This is an RC-scale front replacement rim produced by GPM for the Associated RC18T platform, using an alloy construction and a swirl surface finish with a 3 poles pattern. It is intended as a direct visual and structural alternative to the stock front rims on the RC18T chassis and is described in the product title as supplied in 1pr.

Functionally the rim serves two practical roles: to provide a stiffer wheel mounting surface compared with many plastic originals, and to offer a consistent surface geometry for tyre seating and cosmetic upgrade. Changes from plastic to alloy can affect rotational inertia and heat transfer in modest ways, so expect handling differences to be subtle and to require incremental testing when tuning.

Installation is straightforward for users familiar with the RC18T front end, the part is designed for the Associated RC18T platform and uses the same wheel attachment areas as the original front rims. Before final fitment verify fit against the vehicle’s front hubs and ensure wheel mounting hardware is secure and free of interference.
