lot of people talking about running a heavy axle tube or birdcage on the LR i know it would be rotating weight but could you possibly run a Steel wheel on the LR and be doing the same thing? Just curious
Thanks.

If your track allows, maybe. Most series have banned them, and many of the steel ones I found said they did not have a good enough bead for dirt use.

Wehrs and Keyser each make a steel wheel spacer, if that's what you're after...

I'm not sure rules allow them though...

Heavier rotating mass is free traction control...just saying.

There are reasons this is illegal as it's extremely dangerous to anyone, spectators and crews. Imagine a 100# plus wheel and tire combo breaking a rear end snout and coming off. That thing wouldn't stop for 3 miles

I made that in 2015, yes the scale is set to pounds.

Well the hub weighs about 7lbs. The rotor probably 8lbs. The flange & brgs around 3lbs. So that is 18lbs which leaves you with about 40lbs of mystery metal inside that hub! :-) It would take 98ci of lead to make 40lbs.
