|  VP SLW widths
What is the common width that people are running for their VP SLW's? I'm not a fan of the big huge wide tire look. Thanks for any help!  |

Would that also not be dependant on the tyre? ie. Sedona's 1.35" and Rovers 1"? |

For 2.2, scale would be 1". 0.7" looks too thin for scale. For scale the V1, V2 and V6 looks real. Why not have a look at the SSZ wheels. |

I love the SSZ wheels, but really want the bead lock look. hmm..... is there a way to attach say a delrin ring to the outside of the SSZ wheel? best of both worlds.

Ya if there was a way to attach the delin ring to the rim of the SSZ that would be sweet.

I've got 1.35" SLWs on my Wraiths, and I like how they look. I have 1" SLWs on the rear of my XR10. The 1" ones work better for crawling because they balloon the tire a little more. IMO it doesn't look very scale though, and I prefer the flatter look and performance with the wider wheel. When you consider that a stock Axial wheel is 1.6", they are still a bit narrower than stock. If you do go with the 1.35", you'll need to use .600 hubs. I tried .475s and the steering links rubbed.
