TSS Robby Gordon Wheels

[JeremyH]

I picked up a set of these wheels from The Scale Shop for my Wraith......they look pretty sweet on this truck!

The scale hub is a nice addition and it sure is nice to be able to use VP hubs with them.

What offset hubs did you use? Also, got a front view? I've been looking at those same wheels, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. "thumbsup"

They do look pretty awesome on the Wraith though.

I could only find one of my 225s, so for now, I am using the 475s up front and 350s out back. Soon, I will switch to 350 in the front and 225 in the back.

I can snap a front picture for you this weekend.

They mounted easily. My old wheels had cut the bead some so I had to glue the bead back together in a few spots...

They are kind of a pain in the ass, but they really take these wheels to the next level!

Is this because they're so tiny?

Well, partially. I didn't trust the head of the bolt or wrench to not strip so I mounted the bead ring with regular hardware first, then went back through and installed these bolts one at a time.

Needs some of those new acorn nuts for hub.......:ror:

i made myself a "Tommy Tool" (origonal idea by Tommy R) steel hex screw on the end for a "socket"

here is the origonal Tommy Tool

Ha! I am about to place an order from LockedUp......you think I should toss some of those in as well?

I actually think they're pretty tough, I was more worried about the tool stripping out my self. But I also did the same thing with mine and used four of the regular screws to mount the bead ring. Then went back and installed the scale screws. To date, I've installed close to a couple of hundred of them between my Locked Up and TSS wheels and still using the same tool. I had an extra 2.5mm driver that I used a piece of shrink sleeve and fastened the tool to the driver, works perfect."thumbsup"


And X2 on the Acorn nuts!

That's really good to hear! Yeah, I guess I was more worried about the tool. I dont know what it's made from, but it feels like Aluminum.

And X2 on the Acorn nuts!

Good deal. I'll toss them in the cart. "thumbsup"

Good deal. I'll toss them in the cart. "thumbsup"
