my lhs has aluminum savage/maxx wheels for 10 bux a set..!! 3 spoke, 5 spoke, and 6 spoke.. there only red or purple but a quick shot of oven cleaner will fix that up.. i got a set and so did one of my basher buddys.. whooot now i wont have to worry about hexes any more..
 
yea they are.. price tag is 59.99 per pair.. they are old dynamite ones they couldnt sell and didnt want any more..

Yep those are exactly what I have but mine are polished now lol after the dishwasher they where pink. And by the way the anodize doesn't come off very easy on these wheels at all!!! They must use a very good quality anodization prosses. I used Easy Off oven cleaner and it took some off. The rest I used very fine wet sand paper and very gently sanded the purple off what a pain in the arse lol it took forever!!! I will post pics of what they look like in a few :)
 
no 10$ set of 2.. 20 bux for 4 but still though.. i dont know call them up the web sight is up top..
 
Here is what mine look like now I still need to buff them up a little but they look awesome but like I said its very hard to get the anodize off them.

 
pm me with details.. thats what i plan on doing.. maby the dishwasher baked it on there?? i got a dremle and i got some super fine grit sandpaper i could prolly get the mirrored .. speaking of who was that that was pollishing chassis and stuff??
 
It was Driver who was doing it but he said he couldnt do wheels with his set up they tend to try to kick out from the Machine I'm guessing. I was also thinking they got baked on too but when I sprayed the A-arms it came right off. A buddy of mine Dirtracingfool suggest for me to try Greased lightning to remove anodize off parts it works awesome on some parts and doesn't turn it black. It also cheap and available at Walmart lmao

i just want some of the rubbing compound.. i can use the dremel..
 
First I sprayed them then I wet sanded them with very fine wet paper, make sure you keep it wet or it will scratch them then, I used Turtlewax Rubbing compound on a buffing wheel on my drill , then I used Turtlewax polishing compound. Last thing I did was polished them with Never Dull aluminum polish this process worked great. Be carefull with the dremel it can grab between the spokes and jump and nick the wheel I know lol. If you do that just wet sand it if its not to deep and it will take it out. I also used my dremel and a grinding bit to get inbetween the spokes that is where most of the anodize really sticks it took it right off and make them really smooth. Good luck and all I can say is take your time :)
 
Beason ya pick me up a set and ship them to me, Ill pay ya double. Lemme know. Them are sweet!
 
That is a good deal I got mine for 30 bucks I think on ebay, last time I looked at them there they where going for around 60 bucks. Beason you could probally buy a bunch of them and make a profit on ebay, but give the RCNT members a good deal :) first of course hehe
 
i thought of that but i dont have alot of spare cash right now.. just fixed the savage and the buggy and just received a nitro sport that needs work.. maby wannarunem has some extra cash and he can do it.. ill ask him..
 
Dude, if I were you I would buy every set they had and then resell them here. At those prices you could make a few bucks and we'd still be getting them cheaper than full price. I'd pay $30 or so for a set of four and you'd make a few bucks...

Just a thought. How many they have left?
