Best Cars To Start Racing With? || Behind The Wheel Podcast

Posted on by Matt Rodriguez

On this podcast Rich and John talk about the best cars to start racing with. These guys each have their own views on what a good starter car. Rich thinks in more of a grassroots sense of a low budget car and making due with a ratty like ride. John however brings up an interesting point of investing in the initial platform to save on costs down the road. John’s example of a good budget dedicated race car would be. Sebeco. These cars have a much higher buy-in cost but the money needed to put into them to maintain competitive race car status is very low. What is your idea of a great starter car for racing?

EV’s Aren’t Going To Last || Behind The Wheel Podcast

Posted on by Matt Rodriguez

On this podcast Rich and Daut talk about the ongoing trend of manufacturers banking on nostalgia and branding giving new vehicles model names of past enthusiast models. Will seeing something like the new Honda Prelude resonate with owners of the Preludes we all know and love? If manufactures decide to give EV’s model names such as Miata and GTI that have cult like fan bases, will it capture the hearts of those or will it leave them in a state of rejection? Let us know if you think carrying over model names to new models is okay or if you think they should just have called it something else entirely.

Choosing Truck Tires ft. Milestar Tires || Behind The Wheel Podcast

Posted on by Matt Rodriguez

On this podcast John is joined by Chuck Converse of Milestar tires to talk about all things truck tire related. With the introduction of our HyperTrail series we felt it would be a great idea to get with the experts to give us their insight on important aspects of choosing the right truck tire. As wheel experts you can imagine the amount of tire specific questions we get and although we can normally answer many of the questions pertaining to tires we are not the tire experts. It always helps for us to turn to tire companies to give their professional input.
