The AR0017R aftermarket alloy rear sinkage dish rim is produced for the Associated RC18T platform and supplied as a matched pair for scale RC applications. It suits builders replacing degraded plastic rims or those seeking a firmer wheel seating surface for consistent handling on 1/18 short-course and touring truck style chassis.
Functionally focused, this rim improves mechanical fit rather than appearance. It gives a more rigid bead seat for the tyre, maintaining consistent tyre profile under lateral loads and enabling precise offset or track adjustments when combined with compatible wheel hexes and spacers.
Fitting is straightforward: remove the wheel from the hub, move the tyre and any foam insert if needed, mount the alloy rim onto the wheel hex and verify runout and clearance before tightening. Recheck hex engagement and wheel nut torque after a brief test run to ensure secure mounting.
