My friend showed me the new wheels on his wife's Jeep a while ago.  I thought the Moto Metal wheels looked just like the Axials but the KMC Monster is even closer. Good to know my wheels are scale now.  |

I have an old set of aluminum 5 slot mags on my Bronc that I just love. TruDesign wheel said they could make 'em into beadlocks but he didn't recommend it because the cast aluminum back in those days wasn't very good. So my plan is to get Staun internal bead locks, then put fake rings on the wheels so that I can chew up the rings rather than the wheels. | |

Sure, RC's take their inspiration from real cars, that's how it works, but it does seem a little strange that one RC company is singling out one wheel company to copy all of their designs.
