What is in here
- Compound and inserts: choosing grip by surface — Compound decides how much grip a tire can make. The insert decides how much of that grip reaches the ground. Here is how we choose both.
- Hex size, offset and fitment — Three numbers decide whether a wheel bolts on and whether the car likes it: tire size, hex and offset. None of them are optional.
- Painting a clear body, step by step — Painting a clear shell is done from the inside and in reverse order. Get the sequence right and the rest is patience.
- Setting a car up for the surface you actually drive on — Most handling complaints are a parts choice made for the wrong surface. Here is how we would start, discipline by discipline.
