Wheels

Wheels are one of the 13 customization categories available for all cars. They affect vehicle handling depending the rim diameter, width, and grip multiplier the wheels have set internally.

There are four main sub-categories, in which there are more options:

* Default Wheels
* Sports Wheels
	+ Sports Style 1
	+ Sports Style 2
	+ Sports Style 3
* Supersports Wheels
	+ Supersports Style 1
	+ Supersports Style 2
	+ Supersports Style 3
	+ Supersports Style 4
* Offroad Wheels
	+ Offroad Style 1
	+ Offroad Style 2
	+ Offroad Style 3

Rim sizes range from 13" to 18" for Sports Wheels, 15" to 22" for Supersports Wheels, 13" to "18 for Offroad Style 1, and "12 to "18 for Offroad Styles 2 and 3. All Default Wheels only have one rim size available.

## Default Wheels

This category contains wheels which are equipped on the cars by default.

They can be equipped to any of the other cars, as long as you own the car it's equipped with by default and the size limit allows on the selected car.

Performance-wise, they are very mixed, ranging from bad to good, depending on the car they were made for. With some general exceptions (Bornbad-, Incubator-, Judge- and Wrecker default), stock wheels can't support the performance upgraded variants of the cars they belong on, often resulting in the loss of grip and needing to upgrade wheels.

## Sports Wheels

A type of aftermarket wheels which can be bought in the Career Shop.

They are best used on tarmac/asphalt, as their grip heavily decreases on dirt- and grass-based ground. All of the styles perform the same.

## Supersports Wheels

Slightly higher level aftermarket wheels bought in the Career Shop.

They offer a very minor grip advantage compared to Sports Wheels, but generally have the same attributes as them. Use on only asphalt is also heavily encouraged. All of the styles perform the same.

## Offroad Wheels

A category of wheels bought in the Career Shop, dedicated to off-road use.

In contrary to the other two purchasable categories, Style 1 wheels perform radically different compared to Styles 2 and 3. Style 1 offers good performance both on- and off-road, while Styles 2 and 3 are designed to be used specifically on dirt/grass, while losing grip more easily on asphalt.

## Trivia

* Offroad Style 1 quickly gained popularity in Multiplayer, thanks to it's versatile performance on any surface. it's close competitor are Incubator Defaults, with their advantage being huge wheel width, good grip multipliers and the ability to equip it on most cars thanks to it's size.
	+ The 6th preset multiplayer setup for the Incubator likely became the most used multiplayer setup ever, heavily favoured in Hold The Flag matches thanks to Offroad Style 1 rims being assigned to it.
* There were at least two beta rims cut near the release of the game, likely originating from 2005-2006. One is only evidenced by two leftover textures (normal and motion blurred), but the other also has a model present for it. "*Rim2.dds*" heavily resembles 2005 Ford Mustang OEM, factory rims, while "*rim7.dds*" is more reminiscent of Volkswagen Transporter steel wheels. The latter's origin is reinforced by it's model's name, which implies that it was going to be the default wheels for the cut Trance Mortar 4 van, which was based on the VW Transporter T4.rim2.ddsrim7.ddswhl-trn-def.p3d in the model viewer
