Just suggestion - if you got some 17mm hex adaptors, you'd have a lot more choice of big wheels & tarmac tyres (Lots available for Tmaxx, RevO & 1/8 scale). What car are they going on?

What car are they going on?

I'm guessing a Grasshopper or Hornet...
For budget sake, I'd go for 2.2" on road. Something like these :

On road buggy tyres

I might be able do a trade and deliver these to you for about 15 euro - shipping included.
And send them with the CVA parts...

Bigger wheels are awesome but in my experience they get relatively more expensive with diameter. :S

Edou. is that the exact wheels you have that are in the link?

Even more so - they would come directly from the store's stock. I'd have to get them still.
I am about to do a parts trade with this seller. He lives a bike ride away...
Btw - not the sweetest deal I ever made (trade for $30 Imex rims) but if you like them I'd give you the opportunity.
No pressure whatsoever of course. ;)

No doubt I'd give you an opportunity - not a money maker for myself. :lol:

Certainly looks nice. B)
They are a bit smaller though because they're for an on road car.
Usually they measure about 1.9" rim size...

I'd look around for 2.2-2.3" on road buggy tyres or maybe a set in 1/8 scale.
That might suit the overall dimensions a bit better. ;)

Re: wheels and tires 12 years 4 months ago #5656

it says 52mm diameter which is slightly over 2 inches.
i looked at 1/8th scale wheels and they all seem to use 17mm hex adaptors, = more expense. i like these but beyond my budget....

i am thinking with smaller diameter wheels = lower to the ground, formula 1 type look, faster acceleration, lower centre of gravity for faster cornering.
perfect for a car park racer?
