Something seems a little off compared to the 1.9"s but I'll still order a set. It's not like i can't get what i paid back out of them.

So they will be make 2.2'' knockoffs in different designs after they copy a few different designs from some where

what a couple weeks before there's a bunch on Ebay

I found these and kinda of like them

their Aluminum and would look good one a Wraith

They are Axial Yeti copies in different colors

made by GPM, so still made in china

and there under $25 bucks for 2

I guess they take SLW hubs

I think those are designed to use the plastic back half of the Yeti wheels.

Yup. You'd only be buying half a wheel.

Ok, some of the pictures showed four of them

So I thought that's a set of 2 whole wheels

Not four single halves

My Bad

The Axial Yeti wheels there copied from due take SLW hubs correct ??

Thank you giving me a heads up

Lets forget about any other wheel that isn't a copy of VP. That way we can leave the cat on this thread

You can't call somebody a moron while not using a single period in two paragraphs. Also, "I" is always supposed to be capitalized. Now what were you saying about morons that buy VP?

There is certainly a substitute for customer support, its called $100-140 still in your pocket after buying your wheels. How much support do you really need for a set of wheels anyway?

Thank you grammar police. Now that my post in an online forum has been spell/grammar checked. I can sleep at night knowing i have been corrected with your useless 2 cents.
That being said i would still rather drop and extra $140 on wheels supporting north American made then that jap crap.
