Aluminum wheels to fit 2.2" tires for a buggy?

Post by flipwils11 »

I'm looking on ebay to see if there are options for modern 2.2" aluminum wheels but not finding much. I know the options of Sees and Tecnacraft ($$$) for vintage RC10's, but what about B2's, B3's, and B4's? All I'm finding are rock crawler truck aluminum wheels.

check out these. Some like them and some don't. Personally I wouldn't put a link out to something I don't like :wink: :
http://www.rc-lohas.com/
Hope it works this time. Its a link to the site. from there you'll have to check out his wheels.
There was also a guy that made some wheels that Bugle from the board here dealt with alot but can't find his link. He made the aluminum jelly beans and had them on ebay off an on. There were a few others but can't seem to find them right off hand but when I run across them I'll come do another edit...

The Lohas wheels seem to be for vintage cars so I would assume they are not 2.2"?

the bugle jelly bean alloy wheel info is in there along with the other company I was thinkin of. I just picked up a pair of aluminum jps from a guy off ebay here a month and a half ago...will see if I still have his info. It got hairy after I paid for them when ebay banned him but I got the wheels and the option to buy some more from him at a relatively cheap price. Thinkin around $70 or something like that. They aren't Sees and Tecnacraft but had about 6 different styles to pick from that could be made to look good if you decided to do some polishing.

http://shop.ebay.com/pargu2000/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1 that is a list of what paragu2000 has up on ebay right now but none of the 2.2 jellybean wheels. I'm guessing if you asked he could tell you if he was making any more or if he had some to sell or anything like that.

I had one more in my list of alloy wheel links but its a broken link but maybe someone else can help out with more sources for the alloy choice of wheels again.

Is this gonna be for another heavymetal build for a b3 or something? Just curious...
