YZ10 rims - to drill or not to drill?

[kaszal]

I've got some JC Racing YZ-10 wheels for my Procat. Is it worth drilling the extra pair of holes in the rims or is two enough? I also wondered why there were only 2 holes if the wheel fitment had four screws? Thanks for any comments.

2 = quicker to remove, 4 = more secure, up to you which way you want to go, I've drilled out a couple of sets of mine though

Unlike the Yokomo 2.2's these don't have marks in the moulding where the holes would be so you'll have to be accurate with position, use a wheel hub to mark hole centres

Oohhhhhhhh they are pretty, got a part number for them? I presume JC still make them.

Could do with a set for my Yokomo Hot Dog.

I got some of their CAT wheels last year, really nice quality.

I am rather taken with the following YZ10 wheels,

That rim looks like it has a defect in it. Out of all the rims, why choose that one for the picture of your product?

[kaszal]

True. Maybe I'll give them a nice photo of mine to use

The ones I got were fine, no defects. A little flashing maybe, but easily sorted with a sharp scalpel.

I think the dish wheels collect less dirt than the five-spoke and look good too.
