Minor performance if done right, but mostly for style.

I'm not quite sure what you are trying to ask. Are you asking why you would want to put Tomy pullback wheels and tires on your car?

If so, then, we put the pullback wheels on our cars because, they are wider and stickier than the stock tires. This has advantages and disadvantages. At high speeds they can prevent flipping, and give you butt ripping traction.

This is not without its disadvantages though. The weak spring in the front end has trouble centering because the of the slight weight increase and drastically grippier tires. This is more of an issue to some than the others. Personally I'm nuetral on the issue. It only has a problem occasionally for me, so it don't bug me.

And yes they are also for style too. Don't tell me these 5-spokes don't look good on my Porshe.

To see just how grippy they are, check out the vid of my Project Prostocker. It's running pullback tires on alloy wheels in the rear.

You don't have to buy 2 pullbacks if you don't wanna.
When you use 2 pullbacks, you're just able to have all 4 wheels the same size.

Which Phat Boyz?
The really small ones I know wouldn't work.

I'm not sure about any larger ones, but I doubt it.
