Those look awesome! I'd rather see allen head screws for the beadlocks. Phillips looks somewhat cheesey. I can see that due to the five large holes, there is not enough room for matching the screw pattern of the stock beadlock rings, or the current aftermarket wheel weights. Various size bead lock rings for these wheels could be an additional product idea? But, I'm sure this wheel and tire combo matches any weighted tire combo most of us run. Great job. Now we need estimated pricing (for the wife's approval process), and a [buy now] button to click.

Very Nice. Keep bringin' the new products. Just for fun you might add something in a picture for a size reference. Quarter, stack of naked chicks' playing cards, etc.. The mirco size of the whole rig plus your wicked micro sized masterpieces might lure someone's interest. Some folks might not know the micro-ness of these little rigs yet. |

The production wheels will have allen screws...there were all I could get my hands on quickly for testing. The back bead seating face is flush with the back of the wheel hub. I eliminated the hex and opted for pin only to help keep cost where it needs to be. The track width with these and full foams comes in at 3-5/8". The wheel width is right around .350" wide (+.060 per rock ring). I am working out price over the next few days hopefully. These are 5 bolt so they will only work with Vertex Micro-Lock specific rings. Colors will be considered on the production run, and I will most likely do a poll thread specifically for what colors you all would like to see. No room for a channel given the size and desire to keep cost affordable. Full foams are currently being used in these. I will most likely look into some steel rings for the back side of the wheel for weight addition. I am working on some scale stuff...but the detail involved in scale forces the use of smaller cutters thus driving up the cost to produce exponentially. Here's your size reference pic along with a few other body on shots. |

tyhodge07, they're aluminum, so they should polish pretty well, just use some Mothers aluminum polish.
