SLW wheels/hubs
 
Was just curious, are these more for a scale look or is there other benefit gain with running them?

they make it so you can use multiple wheels and tires on a single rig with out having to remove and install crap load of tiny screws (centercaps) and you dont have to remove the axle nut all the time. just remove the 6 larger bolts and swap them out. it also allows you to choose an offset depending on your needs and still run a wheel on different rigs if you want without having issues with offsets.

plus they do look very scale!

I gather what your saying about the custom off set, but if your pulling 6 screws each wheel to pull your wheels off, then to me that's having to remove a bunch of screws lol. Unless I missed something

most of mine that have center caps are 8 very tiny bolts, then you have to remove the axle nut as well, versus 6 much bigger and easier to manage bolts to just a hub

If you have multiple sets of rims and tires you want to run you don't have to mess with all the beadlock screws

The main benefit, to me, was to get rid of the drive pin, that I lose all the damn time when I take my wheels off.

With a good hex, and locking pin, that's no longer an issue.

Also, they come in different widths, although once you find one that works for you, I doubt you will be swapping them for fun.

FWIW, I still take my wheels off with the center lock nut...
