Selecting wheels

[561 racing]

Guys when you receive a new set of wheels is there a certain way you might review the wheels and decided if one is better for FDW or for the rears? Just a curious thought.
Thanks

On the DFW, I use the one that spins the most true on the outer edge. Check them after you clean and deburr them so there's no debris to get ground in. I just use an .092" pin gauge to check them. I tilt the pin at an angle and let the inner hub rub against my fingernail while the wheel spins. I round over and polish one end of the pin gauge so it won't scratch the bore when I insert it in the wheel, those gauge have sharp corners on them as delivered. I also try to avoid putting a wheel on the rear that has a wobbly inner tread edge to minimise the tail waggin' as best I can.

That's a good tip Bracketracer as far as avoiding pin gauge damage to bores !
Personally I don't like to use a wheel for FDW that has any up/down bounce as it spins either. I am a slow spin junky in examining wheels.

Very helpful tip guys. Thanks, brains working too much about racing. I'll be glad when I get some new products in hand to occupy my time.
