That sucks being a no go on the XD's , would really set them off. They work nicely on the OMF's.

I updated the pictures in my earlier post ...
Not my best photos ever but you can really start to see how detailed these make the wheels look.

You can also see how the newer "SLW friendly" wheel hubs I have in the store slide into the SLW hubs.

These also work great on MT Sidebiters too.

Nice!

Nothing in the works for 4-40 right now but I'm always looking at the feasibility of things. What would you use the 4-40 for?

i would personally be interested in some hex hardware for the rings on those CAC wheels. should work for the rest of the Gearhead/CAC stuff, and potentially on some VP stuff? may be worth it...

Just got a set of these from RPP, they look amazing! I did have to chuck up the tool in my lathe and turn them down a bit to fit in my vanquish wheels.

Glad you like em and they do look amazing in there.

If you had not already seen them, you may want to consider a set of our hubs. They will certainly help finish the look!

Looks great. Wish I had a lathe. I was able to get them fairly tight without turning down the tool. Will have to probably redo and apply some Loctite prior to running them.

Put the tool in your drill to act as a "lathe" and then use a grinder or sending wheel to turn it down. Make sense? I have a lathe but this was super quick and easy.

Just add everything scale hardware wise from Locked UP to make your wheels pure sex appeal.

Definitely. I'll give it a try when I get back to Austin.
