Wheel poll? Aluminum or Black?

[cbaker65]

I bought some wheels & tires ,however I wanted to go back with my aluminum wheels for my Mgt. ,but
the new black style wheels look good too ,so I am undecided now on which one to use ,so I am posting up a
poll to see what my Fellow RCer's would use!.....

Here is a vid of the wheels ,the vid is also being polled on Y-tube ,but polls will be counted here as well ,
so can post here too to be counted ,just pick an say Black or Aluminum!...

Black!

Aluminum goes with that chassis and paint job imo.

Black. Or get black aluminum annodize, and shave off the edges so you have silver metal outliine, similar to aftermarket truck wheels.

I've said it before: I typically like black wheels on 1:1, but chrome/aluminum on rc. I just find that black on our miniature rc gets lost, whereas a silver base color pops with black tires.

So true. When you have black wheels, the details basically disappear. Details like anodized wheel nuts and machining after anodize help a lot though.

Those BLACK wheels look SWEET!!! They all do really. I have extra Tmaxx wheels if you would like the tires again. Not dry rotted or nothing they just need to be cleaned...

Let it chine, let it chine, let it chine, yeah, yeah..

Bro, those wheels are sick! Where did you see these?

 

[WickedFog]

On Amazon. They are cheap Chinese wheels and looks like it would be smart to replace the fasteners with quality screws. But here they are.

Rc4wd m1.6 scale bolt, maybe m2.

 

[Greywolf74]

Awwwww I thought those were for 1/8 scale MTs

 

[Chubaka]

What wheel size? Rc4wd does 1.55 1.7 1.9 2.2s and I think even 3.xxs

 

[Greywolf74]

I'll look around on their website. My MTs use 3.8 and the Losis use slighter bigger than that

Yeah, I would imagine those are 2mm or bigger.

I would say the aluminum compliments the body really well. I love black but it's not always the best choice.

I am going to go with the aluminum ones ,my wife just brought me home some glue from work ,so
I got two more wheels to clean up an I wheel start the glue process tomorrow out side ,because of

They are looking very shinny. They look awesome good job. That is a different pattern interesting. I always set the tire with that V point facing forward. As it would dig into the dirt or sand. Either way sweet set up bud like the new tires aslo

I run mine backwards. I feel it grabs more shoving in and compacting vs pinching and tossing out the dirt.

I'm inclined to say the aluminum looks best with the rest of the set up. But, I really like black wheels if offset a little with stenciled white letters on the tires.
