Size yes, Color and style no.
No official tests on it. Just results in the challenges when Size size is not required or limited the lap times between the cars is nominally different. <0.050 seconds. Color and style in rim size locked challenges zero change.
I would like to put this to the test as well but as you say it should be done away from the contest 👍
This is not true, no tests have been done on the lateral load differences between sizes of wheels because it is all but impossible to do so using the tools available in GT6. No noticeable pattern has ever been discerned or highlighted, there is little evidence of tyre deformation being a factor in GT at all let alone a sweeping change that covers all compounds and patterns of tyre within the game in response to changes in the height of the side wall
This may be true but looking over results. In the open wheel size challenges, All podium spots are occupied by +1 or +2 rims, generally first and second place are running the same size 3rd is on a different size, to me that says there is some kind of effect with the wheel size. In the locked wheel size challenges or classes that can't change the wheel size there is no pattern, which to me says there is no effect.
You know as well as I do that there are so many factors that affect the final rankings that you can't attribute it to something as simple as wheel choice, its not always the fastest car that wins. To me this is more coincidence than a pattern, you could just as easily say that the winners of contests usually have the letter A in their user names but that doesn't make it a performance advantage
The PM was for working out the test, track car, suspension set up etc. That should at least IMO be done out of public, too many opinions on somethings like a set up leads to nothing useful.
I'm moving the discussion to the FITT physics thread, anyone who wishes to continue please do so there 👍Let's make it this way, I provide car/setup/track due it seems like I'm only one who's wacko enough to bring this up and sees differences on this point.
Actually, you have provided track and car alreadyI have good setup for it what tells what's happening under body.
@shaunm80 and I will talk it over. No promises one way or another.
No problem to join compo, but when I made tune I used several hours for testing what wheels to use on it, and if tune is going to be evaluated by testers they should test same setup as I made. If my setup is driven with stock wheels it's not working, corner balance can be something else than balanced as now, depends on wheels how long braking distance, braking force, so many things go wrong if not on same wheels.
After discussing it. We are in agreement that only size will be enforced. If testing is done and shows a different result to current common accepted wisdom than the wheel use rules will be changed accordingly. But asking a tester to spend 1k-6k on every tune for a theory in a challenge right now is not something we are going to do.
So your all good then? Excellent. I have removed you from Old School Class so you are now only registered in Sport and Supersport.I'm registered as tuner only for the Sport and SuperSport Classes
This is a statement I can agree with.
Added to Old School Class. Welcome aboard.Hi. Can you add me as a tuner to the Old School class please?
My car will be yellow and use PDI P525N black wheels in the standard size.
