Wheels- Weights vs. Width vs. Bling

[ScottyB]

not really. at the speeds where brakes really fade, there is more than enough air movement for good pads to hold up. and if you run ducting, you're going to have to work pretty damn hard to fade those things.

Whaaaaaaat? If the brakes are fading, there's not enough air movement in the area to keep them cool... You can still fade GOOD pads regardless of the wheel if you've got a heavy car with power and small brakes.

hahaha i totally contradicted myself, oops. what i meant was that at track speeds there is plenty of air movement in an open/airy wheel.....but yeah if your pads suck and you don't have much heat capacity in the brakes for the weight of the car, start draggin your feet :lol:
