|  need some opinions
just wondering you guys think on tire/wheel choice for this rig...its going to be a scale rig sooooo!!!looks are more important to me than performance  right now its on kyosho 1/9th series pathfinder wheels and tires, i really like the look it has, or should i go with tires from the hummer with highlift wheels, or all hummer wheels and tires or all highlift wheels and tires?  i'm having a tough time with this one as this is my first real attempt at a scaler besides a bruiser and that was easy....

I like the Pathfinder wheels.A lot of the 1/1 broncos around here used to use wheels like that or white wagon wheels.

think i might try to fit some moabs or something on the pathfinder wheels. they are just a little smaller than 2.2, also gonna replace my leaves with these!!!! i made them myself, because the jugg springs are worthless, and these will not break |
