He asked about rim weight.

The superstar is going to have just a little bit more rim weight, but the difference is probably minimal. The superstar will grind just fine.

doesn’t the rim weight have to do with proprotions? like, if there is a lot of rim weight, but also a lot of center weight, it would be like a yoyo that is minimal in both? because i thought hubstacks do that. or taht is what i get from my 888x

Yes it is proportional, but hubstacks don’t really do too much to add weight, generally speaking of course.
