Default Help - Looking for new wheel options

Long story short, I have searched and searched and searched and I can't find a wheel that I really want. I was set on the RC4WD Stamped Wheels..

5 Lug Wagon 1.9 Steel Stamped Beadlock Wheels (Black)


But I am in love with bead locks and I knew that after I saw these scale bolts, that I need to get my hands on some..

Scale Hex Bolts (M2 x 7mm)


I saw some TSS Stockerz wheels which look pretty awesome but I don't see a single picture of them with black rings. Do they make black rings? And will the scale screws from LockedUp fit the TSS wheels?


I saw someone on here that made some awesome delrin rings. Might get TSS wheels and get some of those? Would they be compatible?


The perfect wheel would be something that looks like the Eagle Alloy 101s or the 012s. Please post info on any wheels that might be close to what I might be looking for. Much appreciated guys!

The scale hex bolts are originally an RC4WD design. They are available in many sizes and two colours here:
Hex Head Bolts

You can use them on the 5 lug steel wheels using these hex hubs: 1.9" 5 Lug Steel Wheel Hex Hub

Or these brake rotor hex hubs : 1.9 5 Lug Steel Wheel Hex Hub with Brake Rotor

You will need these bolts for those hubs:
RC4WD Miniature Scale Hex Bolts (M2.5 x 8mm) (Black)
Or
RC4WD Miniature Scale Hex Bolts (M2.5 x 8mm) (Silver)

So it doesn't matter what wheels I get, as long as I get say, 5 lug wheels and 5 lug hubs with those bolts? Do all wheels use hubs or do they have built in ones like the short course trucks?

Edit - I know my stock Axial wheels are like the short course ones but I was referring to aftermarket milled wheels. Another question, what the hell is SWL? I know it is some type of Vanquish item but I have no idea what SWL compatibility is

Not all after market wheels have removable hubs and not all hubs are compatible with different brand wheels.

You can see which RC4WD wheels with common hubs are available here:
Adjustable Offset Wheels

Yes as long as you match the number lugs on the hubs and wheels they will work.
1.5/1.7 hubs are different to the 1.9 hubs.

Alright, cool thank you. Next question is are there any wheels that look like Eagle Alloy 101s or the 012s with 18 hole beadlock rings? And does TSS make black rings or just natural finish?
