WHEELS and TIRES

[jschleer]

I'm leaving this one wide open guys.

I was just looking at a set of spiracing billet wheels with a superstock offset that make the truck 2 3/8in wider. They also have a life time warranty. A good looking wheel, but are they worth a crap?

If not, I'm taking suggestions on wheel and tires?

the billet wheels look good but thats about all they have going for them in my honest opinion, if your building a shelf queen their great but if your building something to actually bash/race, they aren't worth the money you pay for them for the simple fact that if you break/scratch one not only are you out a bunch of money but you'll be pretty p.o.'d

Yup revo rob said it all, I could never have aluminum wheels. I just bought some new integy dish wheels with tires for 40 bucks on ebay they seem pretty nice but I haven't run em yet. They're probably gonna wear out If I bash'em too much but they look ideal for racing. I had to get 23mm adapters but they were only 20. They have a 1/2 inch offset which in my opinion is perfect for a revo. Check 'em out on my profile thingy.

Just ordered the Proline badlands and Jconcepts Rulux wheels today those things look pretty tough.

I bought them and I really like them.
They are not going to break unless you hit them with a hammer.
I run the Pro-Stock bashers with badland tires.

You should talk to Rick Steinard, the owner. Just call him and see what he has to say.

Are those the 1/2" off-set

 

[Dougrevo33]

They are full offset, they all come that way. It is tough to explain.

They come in two hub sizes, 14 mm or 17mm. I got the 17mm.
This is what the wheel looks like on the inside.

This is how they mount them to you car.

Mounted

Wow, those things look awesome! If you don't mind me asking, what did they set you back?

I want to run the proline MOAB 40 series tires.

Uh, that's a little high for me. He's running an auction on ebay with a starting bid of 10.00 and whoever meets the reserve price gets a set.

Now I'm looking at a set of geode wheels with canyon tires. now I'm running the stock Tmaxx rims and tires. I really just want bigger more aggressive wheel and tire set. I'm open for any suggestions.

Are the T-max 3.3 (6.3") rims and tires 14mm hex?

This is Rick from SPI. Buy a set of wheels. If they dont lower your lap times. Send them back and Ill refund your money.

Any nay sayer out there, I posted $1600.00 at Diggers this year. There was 11 sets of wheels in the field, we had 4 podium finishes and won best of show. We are SPI Racing. This is what we do, Race. We race to win. Guys that ran SPI were paid $700.00.

And to top it all off, there is a life time warranty, just like Sears. You bend it, break it or strip it. Send it back and I replace it for FREE, forever.

Thanks
Rick

Yes they are, but unless you already have them don't waste your time and money. They wobble and shake plus the will crack around the center.

Damn! that sucks. I just bought some,Oh well, I only paid $27.50. I guess I'll use them until they brake and then just buy some new wheels. Really I just wanted the tires, 'cause there bigger.
