Default RPP Rock Ready 2.2 Beadlock Wheels

Hey Everyone

We are proud to announce our new exclusive 2.2 Beadlock wheel. Rpp Rock Ready 2.2 aluminum beadlock wheels. These are being manufactured for us by RC4WD. They will only be available through us. Below pictures are of our prototype wheels. Final wheels will have rings with just RPP on both sides of rings. Rather Than Rpp Hobby. We have not chosen a final center cap. We would like everyone's input as to which one they like. We may do a black version wheel, but are unsure, as we are so happy with the look of all silver. Thanks for the Read and give us your input

OMG, omg, omg!!!!! Paypal is ready Corey!!!!

Option 1) Why not offer both? I can envision a scale rig with the lockout on the front and the others in the rear.

Option 2) If you only do one cap I vote for the one with the lockout hub. The one on the left of the first pic.

I love the wheel and the slots in the rock ring. Personally, I want the silver finish.

X2 on Griz's option 1, the smaller locking hub for the front, and the bigger hub for the rear.
Shoot, let me just go ahead and X2 everything Griz said.

Corey..Those looks just like my next set of wheels.. how did you know

I think a BLK wheel with a silver rock ring and center would look great too.

Wow,those look great. There are so many great sets of aluminum locks coming out that it's hurting my brain to decide on which one's I'll buy...I may end up with several different sets

I vote for the one on the left also (in the first pic)...with scale looking lockout hub. I also vote for the option of having a black set available for purchase along with the raw.

Maybe have both black and raw in both the rings and centers...that way the buyer can mix and match the rings to the wheel centers to get 4 different looks

They are going to be the same size wise as my BL88, But we are working to make the tire groove to accomadate most of the tires being
used.

I could do without the "HOBBY" on the wheels.... that doesnt seem to scale. I know it is your name and all. Just my opinion.

everything else looks killer. very high quailty from the pictures

Final wheels will have rings with just RPP on both sides of rings. Rather Than Rpp Hobby. (cut and pasted from the first post).

Nice wheel! I agree with above...offer both. Locking hub up front and the other in the rear, but if I had to choose one then Locking Hub it is! It'd be like have a rig with full floating axles front and rear. Whn will they be available? They're gonna look awesome on my Tamiya HiLux Hi-Lift and RC4WD's new BFG Krawler Tire Look a like wrapped around them!

Yeah I am not pitting the hobby on the final product. It will be RPP on both sides of the rings as stsated in my first post

Does this also mean that the outer rings will have the milled backside to grip the bead better?

Are these clear coated or bare? I like the locking hub look better... but the lock ring looks a little wide, for my tastes anyway. But deffinitely something to look at.

These are going to be a polished finish which is not done on these. Rings will stay the say size, but other rings from prior wheels with same bolt pattern will work too,
