Picked up a 2013 RXV, wheels can make a big difference.

tjwor · 02-09-2018, 04:39 PM

This cart will be kept at the golf course to help me get in some quick lunch rounds this year. Put some new wheels and tires on, have a few other minor mods coming (small light bar, usb charger, SOC meter). Has freedom mode unlocked and was doing 19.6 before the tire change, I'm guessing it should be 21-22 now.

It's amazing how a minor change of new wheels and tires can make so much difference on the looks of a cart. I went with 215/50 R12 to get a little more rubber and a bit smoother ride than 14" with low-pro tires.

Any mods I should definitely have for the golf course?

You're exactly right about the difference. Those look great!

Nice gunmetal color too! Not very common! Looks great!

Man I wish my Yamaha could take bigger tires without a lift. I like that a lot

I've been amazed how well the magic eraser works.

I wanted something that I wouldn't have to spend a lot of time cleaning. I have a black sports car in the garage, seems like I spend more time cleaning than driving. Learned my lesson!

Ha! I haven't cleaned it up yet, it's been freezing temps out and I didn't want to get the power washer out. It will get a full detail once the weather is decent!

Magic eraser works great on a white body. The green one I tried it on, not so much. Scratched the crap out of it.

Very nice indeed. No lift whatsoever needed? How much did those run ya, if I can ask?
