yes the wheels he has on it now are HPI and he is running g-made wideners. the rims and tires that are on it are not the ones he is going to be running he just put them on to help line up the body. The new rims he is going to run will be HPI also but he is going to narrow them with moabs and still run wideners.

i cut and narrowed my rims and cut my foams,
added some tire weights and glued my moabs on them..

Spray some transparent polycarb paint (maybe pearl white?)before spraying the plastic spray paint. That way the paint stays better.
nice stylish truck

Looks good man,

Amazing what a set up Moabs can do to a rig. The rig looked sweet before, those Moabs just send it off.
