Default We need a new wheel.....

Maybe I'm blind.... maybe not.

How about a wheel that fit Maxx-size tires, but uses Clod/TXT/Jugg mounting system. In plastic/composite so people don't have to mortgage their house or sell the family dog to buy them. Narrow too. Do they already exist? I don't want adapters.

There is a well known company, that has teamed up with another well known company and are making a new bead lock wheel that will work with just about any tire on any truck!

WHEN?!?!?!?!?!?!?

It'd be great if they were plain ol' wheels. No beadlocks, no interchangeable centers or rims, just cheap plastic wheels.

What tires does it fit though? Got a direct link? I couldn't find anything on their site. I don't think beadlocks are necessary. Sure if you want to be able to change tires, but for now it'd be nice if there were a simple beaded wheel.

40 series != Maxx size.

I was trusted not to say too much just yet. I can tell you that the two companies are TTR and Maximizer.

That doesn't tell me anything. Looks like a three piece wheel with a dual purpose clod/txt hub and some other 'planetary' hub that doesn't make a lot of sense, unless it's a cheesy cover. Doesn't look like a true beadlock either, just a bunch of tits around the outer bead. No mention of what size tires it's for as well.

Whatever happened to K.I.S.S.?

Here let me get my spoon soas I can feed ya.
It is a beadlock but the inner ring is not shown, it werks on the same theory as the Maxximizers. The planetary hub is just a cover, remember the TTR guys are monster truck guys. It is for clod/txt tires.

Why dont you just use rckjeep's beadlocks for TXT wheels? :?

Sure I could use rckjeep's rings, or make my own (built, not bought and all that manly crap) but it just seems funny noone makes a clod/txt hubbed-Maxx tired wheel that's simple. People are trying to reinvent the wheel (pun intended).
