Re: Badger's Axial Wraith First off, the new wheels look absolutely amazing!!! Leave it to VP to blow it wide open. AWESOME! BUT...I have one question/critique. Why are wheels (1.55, 1.9s, 2.2s) so narrow? I just got a set of locked up wheels today, I have rc4wds, even have some stamped 1.55s. They all are so much narrower than the tires that they suck the sidewalls in way too much for my liking. I would think that they all should be at least 1/4 inch wider. On a 1:1 the wheels are just shy of the outside of the tire. I may get flamed here, but it's really bugging me! Here's a link to some swampers (well, LTBs) Please let me know what I'm missing, and again, VP....you are truly the hobby's ultimate aftermarket parts source. Link...

Most 1:1 have wide wheels because of the locks or they got a good deal. I myself run a narrow wheel in my 1:1 as they tend to hold the bead better when aired down to 5psi |

Yeah as Tom said, the Proline TSL's were a bit of a challenge to clamp the two halves of the wheels together with how thick the Proline TSL beads are. They are also not a typical flat bead that is the same thickness, these have a triangle shape to them making the bead thicker as you go in from the edge. I just had to push down hard on the face of the wheel with the palm of my hand to get the first of the 4 wheel screws started. Once the first screw is in the rest are easy. The other tires I test mounted (Baja Claws, Rock Claws and Ripsaws) were all very easy to mount and could easily be changed out on the rocks if needed. Quote:

I don't like how wide that 1:1 wheel & tire setup is, that look just never interested me. Quote:

Years ago I ran a set of 33x14.50 MT Fun Country's on my Bronc with on a 8" wide wheel because I got a good deal on the wheels. They worked great for me, even better than when I later put the tires on 10" wheels. For the scalers, I like the sidewall bulge you get with a narrow wheel. |
Re: Badger's Axial Wraith So these are about $250 a set? with your choice of Color? |
