| This Hobby Needs More Steelies...
Who agrees that RC4wd should make some stock Steely rims like these: i'd like to have em in 1.9" and im sure there are people who would want them in 2.2" and these: how many normal 4x4 offroaders do you see with beadlocks and fancy dancy rims? i know down here in Tejas we dont see many...most are faux beadlock if they look beadlock and arent that fancy. just my $.02 though... |

I second that. Yeah alot more and they should be cheaper. 2.2 and 1.9. It would be awesome and more tires both 2.2 and 1.9. Can we get like a petition and a poll so we can decide on like three new tires and three new rims? lol

This hobby (as far as wheels/tires go) needs more 1.5s or 1.6s!! Tamiya already makes the 8-spokes, you are just VERY limited on tires.:-( Last edited by Robb; 07-23-2007 at 06:53 PM. |

Wouldn't mine some plain, stamped, OEM f/s truck wheels in either scale myself.

yes to everything mentioned! we need more tires and rim choices! 1.5" or 1.6" rims. those are 15" and 16" rims in real life. perfect scale! we just need more rims and tires in that size. hmm...

i would go for the wagon wheels but the salt resitence/ space saver spare rim kinda sucks. the wheely kings stock (classic king) look good except they arn't 1.9 (bet you already knew that) and they are 10 lug

Yes I agree. I have White Steel Wagon Wheels on my '77 CJ5. Never could even afford Aluminum wheels. This would definitely give the scalers some better choices of reality.
