Default BB-51 Tire Dilema

Well I broke down and bought a 51 from Unimoger, and I do have to say I am glad I did. The frame is awesome. Well I pretty much got everything together. I did the basic stuff, Super rooster, pede trans, 45t Lathe(might switch to a Novak Brushless Crawler for some more speed) Maxx shocks, TLT locked axels blah, blah, blah. Well I had a pair of HPI spikes on it with some Geolanders and it looked pretty good, but then I started to think about tire options(I hate how thinking always ends up being soooo hard!) Well here is what I have, and let me know what you guys thing I should go with. If there is something else out there that you can maybe suggest I will consider.

Geolander w/HPI spike Black chrome rear----Swamp Dog w/HPI painted black Split star with Unimoger Brick house rock rings front.

I was also considering some G-hawgs cut to look like Super Swampers on a Pede rim with a set of Rock rings.(Don't have pics of those)

Just let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

Aaron.

Default Geo's

PErsonally i think if your going for the "scale" look, then stick with the Geo's...those looked pretty sick...Check out the first mock up of my scale hauler before i changed my mind on the build...im going with a different body instead and longer wheelbase...Anyhow, if you want a sick looking "Bling" rim, but sorta meaty tire go with these...Itll fill the space in your fender as well....Oh...Whats up with that trailer man...im still interested...hollah BAck!!

I think the Hawgs you didn't show would look the most scale. If they are cut like TSL Swampers. Then put some Rock Rings on them and your set.

Thats what I am thinking. I just need to start cutting them, and get me some more rock rings from Ben. Also what rims do you think? Just some painted black Pedes? or use those Black Chrome Spikes?
