Will these wheels effect braking performance?
http://detroitsteelwheel.com/wheels/
Will these specific wheels screw with my braking performance if I ever go to track and run my truck a little bit? The disc brakes i'm talking about are from CPP's big brake conversion. Thanks for the help

Re: Will these wheels effect braking performance?
If the weight is the same and tire outside diameter and width the same it should be the same as any other steel wheel. Maybe less cooling because its solid, might make the 2nd lap of a road course pretty interesting.
A nice light forged aluminum wheel would offer better cooling, less rotating mass and less unsprung weight

Yes that's what I thought, they can't get that much ventilation. That's what I was worried about with these rims. They look badass though!
