Simple quick question:

Between the latest 1 piece cast wheel and 3 piece split rims - which are best and why?

i have 2 sets of the split rim wheels if anyone wants to buy a set. I prefer the look of the new cast rs wheels so am looking to get some of them. I will do a part ex deal, swap or straight sale.

And to answer the question i bought my sr3 off a race team and they prefer the split rims.

Three piece are repairable, cast are not...

Yes, apart from potentially being made from super light spun alloy, race teams also expect to pick up damage and thus need only replace an outer (or inner) rather than buy a whole wheel. In a race weekend they may even potentially be able to beat a rim back into usable shape, unlike a cracked cast wheel.
