yeah they should work as long as your using the adapters to make them work on a TMaxx.
I like those outlaw style wheels with the deep dish.
 
Yeah those rims are very sweet they look alot like the ones I have on my 4x4 Chevy except the chevy has 15x10 :) I guess I diddnt ask my question clear enough What I'm wondering is if I got a good price on them, I'm new the nitro T-Maxx and have no Idea what these usally go for. Thanks for the imput Jesse G
 
well ya kinda figure an average pair (2) of wheels can go for like $15 - $25+ depending on style and brand. Some can go for $150+ for all aluminums. Then tires alone are probably like $20+ a pair so I believe you got a good buy.

yeah the wheels do remind me of actual truck wheels. 15x10 are pretty wide and beefy. I run 15x8 with 33 inch swampers on my trucky.
 
I'd say nice price, but being from the UK I'd love to pay that!

Just one thing to watch for, may go without saying, but the more you increase the offset on wheels, the harder the truck is to roll but also the more strain it puts on arms, pins etc. when you crash. It's a trade-off though.
 
Thats true. I do have aluminum arms and shock towers so they should be able to take a good beating LOL I also have a set of very sweet aluminum purple rims with stock T-Maxx tires that I will be running most of the time :) thanks for the info though never took that in to consideration.
 
No worries Jesse. Bear in mind that also by having ally a-arms and towers that they won't flex much transferring the stresses to the next weakest link, your bulkheads. It's great having ally pieces (I love the look etc.) but they just move the chain of damage along. Not trying to jinx you though, that'll be an awesome looking truck with all those mods on :)
 
Yeah I thought about that I want to get some aluminum bulkheads in the future well actually I want eveything aluminum I know they slow down the truck with the weight but it looks so cool :) I love to fix up real cars and make them as fancy as possible and I figured why not a custom T-Maxx lol but my wife is going to choke me if I buy one more part for it anytime soon :hehe:
 
yes thats a good deal but those Monster Pirate tires are bigger and heavier then the stock tires so its going to decrease power and put stress on the tranny. so u will have to change the gearing in ur t-maxx, u will want a lower gearing.

later
 
Thanks for the info :) my truck has already been geared lower so thats all good I got them and put them on my truck it looks awesome!!!
