I know that people have been waiting for the outcome before deciding on what future wheels/tyres they do.

Bit lost here, Is how I read into it correct? The BRCA at present has no rule, But is going to adopt an IFMAR rule. so whats the big change?(I've not looked up the ifmar rule) are all the wheels we use now going to change spec, or are we suddenly going to fined some wheels are going to be deemed illegal to use?
And whats this certain manufacturer done to make this change needed?

The new AKA wheels make perfect sense if you are gluing US style dirt tyres as you need to get the glue right into the bead with a band on to squeeze it all together as they can be so soft,If you don't do a proper job they will be off rim on track in under a minute! unlike a tight fitting schumacher tyre that only needs a bead of thin glue run round.

reading from the last part of the quoted post, the change must carry some significant changes to say this:
" I know that people have been waiting for the outcome before deciding on what future wheels/tyres they do".

Hmmm????
