Wheel weighting is not nearly as popular as it once was...

Nowadays most people go for non-rotating weight.

Those must be the most complex wheels I've seen, theres potentially 11 different pieces for these if you add the weights and 5 if not. I'm all for innovation but this seems over the top for no apparent reason but maybe I'm missing something. From the sound of it there should be a flippable hub for different offsets which is nice but I cant really see how that will work in these pics.

I agree with Durok weight on a wheel is not what I want.

Hopefully there are some unique designs that come with it at least.

No flipable hub. Couldn't exist and work well in our application unless we get rid of the hex's. Pointless still.

What they are doing (correct me if im wrong).. is designing a wheel that will accept all the different hubs out there? 5 lug (rc4wd?) common 6 slw, and LURC 8 lug?

Other than that, I see a complex wheel.

Check out the voodoo tire fan page on Facebook and see how they work. It’s a really cool design and it looks really nice when it’s all put together. With the hub/brake rotor, a single wheel has 5 different offsets with no extra parts required.

Dumbest possible answer to a question that nobody asked. I'm looking forward to all the schmuk fanbois that are pining to run them on their U4 rigs.

*planning

These wheels would definitely not be strong enough for u4.


The wheel face just kinda bothers me.. And at the wrong angles, these wheels will look even worse in full rig pictures. If Matt would have just opted for a slw bolt pattern..

No, pining was the word I was after. Read through all the bs from the couple posts on bookface and you'll find guys all over wanting to use those idiotic wheels on their U4 rigs. I run about the lightest possible wheel available (CI 6 bolt) on my bomber and still break FBA shafts up front and Ti out back.

The adjustable offsets are kind of interesting. All the rest is quite complicated though. Not really interested in adding extraneous rotating mass though.

The tabs on the "hub" are gonna bend or break hardcore.. Heavy scale rigs rolling down a hill.. Bent hub.

I like the C.I. 6 bolts. Wish we could have a 1.9 .75 or .65 wide.

So... wheel weight is cool again, again? I knew if I left my wheel weights in long enough, I'd be cool

Remember about a week before these wheels were shown there was irrefutable proof from some mystery colleges sthuper high dollar simulator program that showed 3oz of wheel weight in conjunction with brass beef tubes to be the best possible combination for optimum performance.

I pointed out the obvious but matt said it was pure coincidence.
