aluminum rims??

I've seen several kinds of aluminum rims as well as plastic rims that's I've never seen that the company sells on ebay. I prefer to buy machined products from companies that I'm familiar with, but I'd be interested to see a review of the quality of that product. Joe over at East End Machining is going to start on my custom aluminum wheels soon, and he will soon have several wheels listed for sale on his website. http://www.eastendmachining.com/
 
my brother put aluminum on his savage on the front and plastic on the back and he ran his that way for a little until he started jumpin then he want to plastic again for all 4
 
Aluminum is great for crawling because the weight is right where you need it. However it's probably a bit heavy for racing compared to plastic wheels designed for racing.
 
Wouldn't those wheels also fit the Savage X?
I like the idea that you can reverse the center hub for standard of offset, and at that price for all 4, it's a pretty good deal.

They are very nice looking rims, when I saw them I immediately thought of your Savage. Rolex, if you're interested you could talk to Joe and he could probably build you a set of one off custom aluminum rims in whatever offset you want for a price pretty close to that one.
 
I might look into that. Thanks, Charlie.
I have 3 1/2 sets of different wheels and tires, and that bright plastic chrome just doesn't look right. I've wanted aluminum rims for it to match the look of the alloy.
 
Those rims look really nice..
but Charlie's right.. i'd prefer to buy them from a company that i'm familiar with
 
i aint really into the bling just wondered if yall heard of they and i was thinking of you also rolex
