Ooo goodie!! I bought a set in Moab but he was out so I'm anxiously waiting for them to arrive. Hope to get a set with the custom edge, but the OG's are still sick |

I never had the delrin ones so I cant comment on that. I'm thinking they are heavier cause they arent real light. Fine by me less weight I gota toss inside  Excuse the crappy cell pic.   |

Rocktoy, Thanks for the crappy pictures . That is more than what the ebay seller has done for me. I asked him a week ago for pictures of the back side of the rim. They look just like Ericksons, only aluminum. Nice. I plan to get a set. How do they hold a bead? I assume that once the tires are mounted, the tire and rim are airtight? If so, what is any body doing about that? |

Thanks Bender, that is what I was planning on doing. It's just nice to know that others are thinking the same way. In the council of many there is safety. Since the wheels are aluminum, they will see no water or mud. |

I tossed a moab I had here on 1 rim quick since they are the bead section the molands have. Holds dam tight, loosing beads shouldnt be a issue I drilled 2 1/16 holes across from each other just to be different from Bender Oh yeah I noticed the edge on the outside of the beadlock is real sharp so I rounded the edge just enough it wont cut a tire easily. |

OK I mounted a moab before and it wasnt a big deal. No drama went right on. I mounted my Molands tonight. 1st bead no problems 2nd bead sucked. I would bet most of the issue was the tire is so dam wide(twice at least wider) and tall. Only way I could get 2nd bead on was to start the bead and the ring and work it in with a pick as I went around. PITA but like stated I had no issue's mounting my moabs. Mostly tossing this out there for anyone else trying this. It is not the wheel just these tire's friggin suck to mount |

I been running these for a bit now. No bead issue's at all. Nice that you have to enlarge the hoels if needed for your setup unlike some others out there. Cant beat the fact they look good as well.  |

I like my Delrin wheels. FYI... they weigh in at 4.5oz without foam and tire mounted. I was hoping the aluminum would weigh more, but I dont know? I have a pair of the Delrin 8 holes "the ocho" with KK narrow Ruby Red inserts and Losi Rock Claws mounted and they weigh in at 10oz with no weights added at all. the same wheel and tire with the original Losi foams weight in at 8oz.
