I got my wraith kit all together. I now remember how much I hated to glue tires from when I drove rc 12 years ago. I also know that now I will have to rip it all apart again to get better foam and wheel weights. So I've bin looking on beedlock rims. It's a lot of info on some of the rims but everything is spread out. There is everything from cheap (eBay)to expensive rims but no info on the offset. I don't want my truck to get wider. I like the look of alu rims compared to the plastic axial beedlocks. So will I regret buying a set of https://www.ebay.com/itm/131414528438 Also when looking for rims I've seen some with air and not foam. Will air filled rims be a better choise? Cause new rims and foam even with the cheap rims will be just as much as a https://www.ebay.com/itm/301948340979 Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk |

Check out the Gearhead beadlocks. They can be flipped on the hub to be wide or narrow. I have 3 sets cause they're so nice. |

Gear Head wheels start at $139 and include the hubs. That's for 4 Delrin beadlocks with rings hardware & hubs. All Aluminum beadlocks start at $149 with hubs. Not sure where you looked. Try RPP Hobby. |

Thing is, I don't want to land much more then maby 120$ with foams. That's why I'm asking about these cheap eBay/Ali express rims. Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk |

Air filled tires are a fad. Good foams from Crawler Innovations are inexpensive and worth their weight in gold. Motoworx makes a high quality aluminum wheel that is is middle of the price rage (not more than 140 in most cases). DCW is a vendor on here who makes delrin wheels...I'm sure a basic delrin wheel can be had for a little under 100 CI foams are $20 to $25 Sure you can buy those cheap VP knockoffs, but there are better quality options out there |

It may be a little difficult to get tires, wheels and foams for $120, but Duratrax has new crawler tires for $20 a pair with decent foams in them and Hot Racing has stamped steel wheels for $45-55 for a full set of 4. I've been happy with the 2-stage foams from Pro-Line (#6172-00), fit real well in 5.5-6.0" OD tires. They cost about $15-20 a pair depending on where you buy them.

In this hobby you pretty much get what you pay for. I only like to spend my money once so do your research with that in mind. Basically bead locks are a worthwhile investment that you will enjoy long after you have forgotten what you paid for them.

| Re: Rims I have the second ones linked and am more than happy with them. They are skinny but my rbIIs mounted fine. Imo these wheels are really nice for the money.
