A08™

[Locked Up]

Our AO8™ wheels are our most scale wheel yet!

AO8™ (8 Lug)


These wheels feature a tighter 8 lug pattern for more "face". This means more detail and a better look on each design:


Since the flanges are detachable ... you now get the option to play with track width:


We even designed new M2 "Mag" Acorns to drop a scale bomb on everyone!


Every AO8™ wheel is also Easy Mount® compatible so your foam and tire changes are a snap!


Stay tuned for new designs and color options soon ... and thanks for reading.

How much per set, and what measurements do you use on the detachable hubs?

The wheels are available here:
AO8 (8 Lug)

And they work with our easy mount rings:
LURC Compatible

We will have a complete packager deal up (like we do for the 8L & SLW styles) soon as well.

For the hub measurements, offset. backspace, etc, you can get a wealth of information here (AO8 near the bottom of post #1):

Cool guys thanks

Forgot to ask any plans for .185 hub?

SLW and AO8 use different numbering systems.

So adding an SLW number to our AO8 system would be confusing for everyone.

Having said that...
An AO8 with a 285 axle flange will offer the same track width as one of our SLW compatible wheels with a .185 hub:

Any plans on making slw versions of those acorn nuts?

Nothing planned right now.

Because of the scale of the bolt pattern on our SLW and our 8L wheels, they actually look better with the larger acorns.
Adding a smaller acorn makes them look very spaced out .... like toothpicks on the wheel.

I'd take a picture of an SLW style wheel with mag acorns to show you but they slip through the 4-40 holes. So you can imagine how wide the base on the acorn would have to be to hold it on ... which would be a weak point as well.

On the 8L they are passable, but the standard acorns still look better on there.

[fr8cture]

Makes sense. Didn't realize they were that much smaller.

Looks like the ideal candidate for 1.55 or 1.7 treatment.

We have been working on the A08™ since before we unleashed the Ultra Hubs, which is why they are a perfect fit for them.

I've had the finished Mag acorns sitting here since October ... of 2014.

For the smaller wheels we are still finalizing a few things but I think they will be a really nice offering. The catch right now is that we are still out of a lot of our standard things due to the usual seasonal rush. So they are still a ways off because we can't even get to them!

Once I have a finalized prototype though ... then I'll really tease!

Send some to R2J for testing when ready so I can steal them from him!
