| deeper offset rims!!!!
Why do companies not make an offset option? I know TSS and mayhem and I think some rc4wd too. I wanna see some options for that. Without hubs!!!

I would say a good option would be either some lockedup rc wheels or even the axial 8 hole plastic wheels matched up with the lockup rc wheel wideners. Should give that nice deep dish, heaps of wheel designs to choose from plus heaps of aftermarket ring designs available too. 1.9 Wheel Wideners |

Check the link, it is a spacer that goes between the ring and wheel and gives the wheel extra width, ie more dish

Or get two sets of beadlocks and make your own deepdish wheels. I did. Here you can find a bad pic of my Axial Rockster wheels I widened. only cut tires. post up your cut tire photos Just did a set of widened 8-holes too. I'll add a pick later. The pic. Here with a Rock Beast mounted. Last edited by Scrap; 10-12-2014 at 10:26 AM. |

The link I posted is basically the same thing, but machined alloy to go with the lockup rc alloy wheels which have the same bolt pattern as the axial wheels. The name of the link/product is a bit confusing in my opinion but I think it is what you are after

I can make you a set of delrin wheels with just about any offset you want, and widths up to 2". Drilled for whatever hubs you want to use.

I need some wheels that sit in as far as possible to narrow my track width as much as I can.

Delrin isn't just just any plastic...very durable and with slw hubs you will have a metal hub to sit on the hex.

As you mentioned, our 1.9 Widener can be used on our wheels, or Axial wheels, and possibly others that share the same bolt pattern to achieve that deep dish look: To answer the original posters question, it's mostly about jigs, setup/teardown, material/machine time and cost. To make a double wide set of wheels costs more than most guys are willing to spend. It's double the machining, material, etc. Not to mention reprogramming and sometimes we need to slow down tools because we are operating longer bits to get the same detail down in the little faces. So for us to do a large run of something is a much higher investment for us on a product that is in lower demand. I'm not saying there is no demand because that is exactly why we did the wideners! ... it's just not as great of a demand due to the cost/weight, etc. Having said all of that ... we do offer custom design & machining services for wheels and rings. So if something catches you eye we can put together a quote for you. Just shoot us a note here: https://lockeduprc.3dcartstores.com/...tion=contactus Thanks!
