Wheel Thread

[CreepyCrawler016]

I wanted to start a thread with what wheels (plastic or aluminum) you are running on your creeper. It seems to be something that comes up alot so I figured we could have a "bible" for what works.

Please post a pic of with description of what wheels your running, weight (if any added or stock,) performance or personal thoughts, and also if they were a direct fit or how you made them fit.

I would start off the thread, but another reason for starting this is because I could use a little help myself. I'm looking at vanquish rims currently, but i'm hoping this thread will help myself and others.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I'm still runnin stockies for now. Kinda broke due to building a super super. Lol but I am wanting to get some new wheels. Hope this sticks I'm interested in some good info.

hey where did you get those wheels

I run the stock venoms but narrowed them to just under 1"
I have 3 bolts that go from ring to ring to keep them tight.
Stock Rover foams held out with a ring of PVC tube that slides over rim (just)
A wicked setup for me while I decide where to go next with rims.
I am hunting for buggy/truggy fronts with 12mm hex and are under 1" wide.

For those of you who have not read my ramblings before. Anything that has to come from overseas especially USA has a wicked big postage stamp on it.

That sounds like a good setup. I just bought some of the Novak Double Dueces 2.2 for my HB Rovers. The foams that come with the white are too soft for me, I keep getting stuck in holes, not to mention the inconsistency of them from hot to cold climates. I would be interested in seeing your bolt and PVC set-up though if you have a pic. I get the idea of the PVC, but the bolts would be intersting to see.

I tossed some axial rocksters wrapped with chisels with the chisel foam. Total weight of front is 15.6 oz and rears is 8.9 oz. They just dont grip like my rovers.
