We already started shipping the 2.2 wheel in chrome finish. We wont be able to ship all orders in chrome version, since we still have some inventory left. But we hope by end of next month, we will only ship in chrome version.
We will continue make the regular finish version, by request.
This picture here: (chrome on the left, our original wheel on the right)

Yes, we did the same cool 2.2 wheel without the beadlock rings. We will start shipping within 1-2 weeks:

They cost more than the nylint!
The hex size is different.

Ummm... Those are sweet.
Direct fit for a TLT?

i assume you mean polished not chrome (dipped), correct?
rc4wd

BlueMonster, none of our wheel are direct fit TLT-1. People do need to get a 12mm adaptor.
STANG KILLA SS, they are done through a special chemical process. But our next patch, we will have real chrome plated wheels.
We expected to have a lots of wheel in stock by mid October, include a couple of new 2.2 wheels.

That's not right is it? I ordered a set from you that fit the TLT just fine - they didn't work but it was because of other reasons, like poor quality control. But they had a 12mm hex. Did you change something?
BlueMonster
10-07-2006, 09:31 PM
Okay, cool. If all I need is a hex, that's a direct fit as far as I am concerned!
I'd prefer an original finish, I like the raw look. How wide are they? Will the beadlocks work with Moabs?
rc4wd
10-08-2006, 08:09 AM
Creep, can you send those wheels back so we can send you a replacement?
BlueMonster, yes they are designed to fit any 2.2 tires, including the moab.

What he meant was a 12mm WIDENER.... not adapter.

Of course I can send them back. Can you pay for the shipping?

What is the offset on these wheels. I weant to run them on a set of clod axles in the 2.2 class. Will they meet the 12.5 width rule.with moabs
BlueMonster
10-08-2006, 05:13 PM
I am wondering kind of the same thing; offset. I am running pede wheels modified to stick out as far as possible, would that be zero offset? (I don't know!) But that's what I am hoping for in an aluminum wheel...

Ok, this one
http://rc4wd.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=75&products_id=1264
BL14 has the least offset, it is designed for clod type of truck, so it can meet the 12.5 inch rules. The hex on the back is midway of the wheel.
http://rc4wd.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=75&products_id=1158
BL01 and BL01N has the max offset, the hex on the back stick all the way to the end of the wheel. Most people use it for TLT-1, to increase the overall width.
If width is not enough, there is always the 12mm to 12mm widener.
pede, I think BL01N should be good. Again I dont have a pede to try with.
Just an update for everybody, we get emails about this everyday. Our next patch of 2.2 wheels should ship late next week. We should be able to fill all backorders by then. Sorry for the long wait.
Again there will be a few more new edition, we will have a super narrow 2.2 wheels (1/4 more narrower than before). We made it base on request from customers. Then there will be a chrome version for show truck and a 12 holes version for more relistic look.
We are boosting our production on those wheels, we should have no more sold out issues within 2 weeks. If you check our site, we have a lot less out of stock items now, we have been increasing our inventory a lot in the last few months.

I like the idea of the BL14 but I was wondering if you had something for the Bruiser that's not setting out sooo much? I've got the 12mm adapters from you and some hpi wheels and it makes the truck too wide.
rc4wd
10-10-2006, 11:11 PM
Thundermaxx, we are working on that right now, but I dont think we will be able to ship until next month. We are still trying to catch up with regular 2.2 beadlock wheels. We have a lots of products in design already for bruiser, November will be a great month for all bruiser owners.
All back order for 2.2 beadlock wheels BL01 expect to ship today or tomorrow.

Everybody who placed their order before last Thursday, should already got a tracking # (for the 2.2 narrow wheels). Everybody else will get their tracking # later on this week.
If you ordered the Competition 2.2 for clod, you still have to wait a few days, we expect to ship later on this week.

rc4wd
10-18-2006, 05:27 PM
We expect to have a new one coming next week, I am waiting for it right now too. Wheel are done, just waiting for it come back from chrome shop. The wheel will be even more narrower than before, by 1/4".
Scooteracing
10-18-2006, 05:38 PM
Will you have just the regular narrowed wheel in chrome, not the super narrowed .

Any updates on the Bruiser beadlock? Will the f/r wheels have different backspacing to even up the track? Thanks for all the new Bruiser products. "thumbsup"
rc4wd
11-16-2006, 04:03 PM
Scooteracing, we are working on it, probably towards the end of the month.
rcr3fan29, we probably will starting production early December. In December we expect to have quit a few new products for bruiser.
Also for limited Edition F-350/TLT-1 wheels with V2 mount, they are done, expect to ship mid next week. Just waiting for ring to come back from anodizing. I will post pics shortly.

Mike shoudnt they be v1 mounting for the high lift? I know I have the super narrows on mine right now with the v2 style mounting and they stick out a little bit to far. I would like them to have less offset so that it brings the tires back under the wheel wells.

So if the F350 wheels are the V1 and not the V2 when should I order? And more importantly, I have asked about 3 or 4 times now without an answer. Are you going to have the wide rings avalible for them? I want these, I just would prefer to do it all in one shot of how I want them.
rc4wd
11-17-2006, 05:21 PM
I will be posting some pics later on tonight with pics. All F-350 wheels are done, just waiting for rings. Expect to ship on Wednesday.
