This matched pair of Delrin ridge rims is engineered for Mini-Z AWD platforms, maintaining the five-bolt pattern with a nominal 0mm offset and an 8.5mm rim width that aligns with standard Mini-Z tyre profiles.
Material and function: manufactured from rigid Delrin-grade polymer, these rims minimise flex under tyre bead loading and light contact, preserving bead seating geometry and repeatable lateral characteristics during chassis setup. They are specified as fitment components to aid consistent tyre mounting and handling evaluation.
Installation and verification: mount like standard Mini-Z wheels - remove existing wheels, fit tyres to the rim, and confirm correct hex engagement and hub seating. Inspect body shell clearance and verify the 0mm offset against intended track width before dynamic testing.
Application notes: use the rims as a control when comparing tyre compounds or profiles, or when isolating suspension changes. The neutral offset simplifies front-to-rear comparisons and reduces variables in tuning sessions.
