The HPI Firestorm wheels have a 12mm hex. Any wheels with a 12mm hex will work. Axial makes some pretty cool looking wheels, as does Proline and HPI..
 
K, thank you all, just one other question,.

Will a pipe give me power gains? or is it just the head?
 
If you get a good pipe, obviously one thats better than what you have, you will notice an increase in performance gain.

A decent set of tires and a good pipe will give your Firestorm a bit of an edge :D
 
Pick right pipe for what you want. they have pipes 4 bottom end mid range and top end all depends on your wants. I like jammin jp1 or jp2 for mid jp3 for top end and they all rock jp3 i get about almost 15 min a tank thats in my 1/8 kyosho gt
