ebay wheels

[ol puddin head]

anyone used or know anything about this wheel? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270695668500&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MEWAX:IT

They dont look too bad....and a nice price too! Just be aware that they are coming from Hong Kong....so shipping will probably take a week or so.

 

[CreepyCrawl]

Not bad but the machining on the scallops looks a bit hacked out to me.

Since the rest of the wheel appears clean though, I'd assume that it's an intentional design.

Just replace the hardware immediately and you should be good.

There are a few different HK wheel sets on e-bay, the material seems to be OK and the machining isn't to bad, but they seem to use the cheapest lowest quality hardware I have ever encountered.

I looked at these once before but they dont show a pic of the face side of the wheel.. or are they hexes on both sides..

I've been burned with the hong kong orders before, its like going to the casino plan on wasting your money and you wont be as pissed in the end..
cant afford to ship them back you might as well just keep it

But you never know they might be an awsome inexspensive wheel

If you do get a set give us the heads up on the quality

 

[NMLJ]

And to bad they arent beadlocks.

I've just shipped a set from these back to the seller...

They look good, machined good, but as NMLJ said, they aren't real beadlocks, there aren't any groove for the tire's bead to sit in... It's a bit strange, because the lock rings are removable.

you can get those same wheel through integy. there r a few sets of wheels that u see on ebay that integy sells.

 

[Natedog]

And to bad they arent beadlocks.

No thanks....that, the return problems, etc.....

Something just seems a bit wrong with a set of alloy wheels for that price. One thing my Grandfather told me a long time ago was, "You get what you pay for".

I could be wrong, but I wouldn't want to be the first person to try them out.

there just like the losi 1.9 wheels that come on the mrc....rings are removable but there not beadlocks"thumbsup"

i bet you could do the pvc ring trick and turn these into beadlocks...

 

[TheRockguy]

couldnt u just cut in a groove for the tire beed to sit in?

 

[ghtpdm5]

pvc ring trick would be way simpler.

You get what you pay for is always the case, I'd have to pass on this wheel.
