Need help on tires

[mlc]

I'm looking at proline raid 2.2 beadlocks and was wondering if they will work on Array 2.2 dirt oval buggy rear tires and array 2.2 dirt oval buggy front tires.

2.2/3.0" wheels are for 2.2/3.0" SCT tires.

Yeah, I don't know of any bead lock 2.2" buggy specific wheels off the top of my head. There are 2.2" bead lock wheels out there, but I think they are primarily for crawlers. Also, I'm sure there are one piece faux bead lock wheels out there for "the look" and that wouldn't add to the rotational weight. Additional weight on a wheel?

High speed oval racing... not my thing, but I think I'd stick to one-piece wheels to glue tires to. That's just my opinion, 'cause I've had no luck with any of the bead lock wheels in the past. At some point the wheels always found a section of a tire to lose its grip on. That gets annoying to undo/fix.

Hopefully, others will chime in to help find the buggy size bead lock wheels you're after.

Where can I get purple light weight wheels. I'm putting them on my late model car.

You may have to find some white ones and use purple Rit dye ?

 

[WickedFog]

Yeah, Rit dye works. If the wheels are nylon, your only real option is Rit Dyemore Royal Purple. I think that may turn out a dark purple. But you can get Kentucky Sky blue and Racing red and maybe mix those and get a decent purple.

The paint will scratch off or peel but you can try it.
