| TCS makes a very nice and narrow set of BeadLocks. They are 1" wide. I saw a set in person this weekend and they look great. The pictures don't do them justice. link to wheels |

| I like the RC4WD super narrow wheels BUT you will have to modify them yourself to make them hold a bead. I had two modify two sets of RC4WD beadlocks. Neither set would hold Pro-Line Masker 2K's. I modded a set of these for my scaler: http://rc4wdstore.com/product_info.p...roducts_id=648 And I modded a set of these for a comp rig: http://rc4wdstore.com/product_info.p...roducts_id=606 I don't like giving props to RC4WD. I was very upset to buy these wheels and find out they don't hold a bead. For as much as they cost they should work perfectly out of the box. But they look fantastic when mounted up and they are nice lite weight. I had owned a set of the Drastic Sports / Mayhem Engineering beadlocks and they were way to heavy (IMO). They held a bead wonderful, but you were stuck with the weight. You could not weight them to you own personal preference like you can a RC4WD wheel. |

| The TCS VF assassins and stalker wheels are great. they are super narrow and are available in the same offset as an axial wheel. I have a set, and they hold a tight bead. |

| Mine wouldn't hold a masher well, but has never had a problem with the moabs or rockclaws. |

| I use these: http://www.tcscrawlers.com/RPM-2.2-R...2-p-16546.html They aren't super narrow but 1.6 is on the narrow side. You can get them in the wide version or narrow version (axle width). For $8 a pair, you can't really complain |

| I have a set of VF Stalkers from TCS, they are stunningly nice. They're available in 2 different offsets, 1 that works for WK/clod rigs and another that has the same offset as the Axial wheels. They hold a bead like crazy, are beefy as hell, the machine work is top notch, and they aren't too heavy, so you can fine tune the weight you want. 1 inch wide, and worth every penny. |

| Dont know how narrow you want em. But Ben at Montana Scale design makes some really nice wheels. Got some heft so I didnt have to install lead. So narrow that I gained a 1/4" of ground clearance under the pumpkin cuz it narrowed the tires so much. I have only had mine a couple days, but these are freakin night and day to the stock axials! And they clamp on any tire out there with no probs............. |
