Hi Rob

I run the Losi aluminium beadlocks and I love 'em - they are a quality item and the weight system is very neat. You can add further weight using stick on lead round the rim if you feel the need. Only thing you may not like is they are quite a wide wheel which gives tyres a squarer profile.

Alternatives that I would look at are Billet Works and VP.

Billet works are nice and narrow giving Rovers a more balloon profile and the VP with their weights just sceam cool IMO.

Hope this helps. Got a few pics of the Losi beadlocks on my build thread.

PS. Kingston UK or Jamaica?

The Motoworx 1.9 wheels have a bit wider offset to them so you don't have to run spacers to clear your servo, and they are super easy to mount tires to. Best wheels I've had on my mini and I've had several different brands. I would honestly be running them even if I weren't sponsored by them if that tells you anything.

Yea there nice rims. If you can afford Vanquish rims get those.
