Inaugural post. Howdy. :)

In rummaging though some old stuff, I came across some old Maxx-type 3.2" rims. I've been out of the hobby for so long that my memory is pretty weak. I think these are Pro-Line, but I'm not sure. Any help is greatly appreciated. :)

These are chrome (nickel?) plated nylon. I've never run aluminum rims myself either. :D I'm thinking I bought these back in...2007? I really can't remember. It's definitely back far enough I have no invoices. :borg:
 
Imex brand? Proline also had a similar one.
Positive they're not IMEX. That is one thing I'm sure of - I've never owned anything made by them. ;) My hunch is they're Pro-Line, but for the life of me, I can't find a part number or anything. :dead:

I'll look in my old catalogs. If not imex then proline. I re ember them using the center nut like these on other wheels.

That'd be awesome. I think I found some that came out the same time. They have the big nut casting, but are spoke'd. Pro-Line "Outback Weld" rims. I'll consider the brand figured out. Now, to get the name or part number. Unfortunately, Pro-Line's website is not helpful. Discontinued "archive" is extremely incomplete.

Behold. (Borrowed from eBay.)
