Are rear wheels repairable?

[1of1547]

One of the two rear wheels that came with my truck has the pin striped out. Is this a common problem? Are these repairable? I thought about making a making a aluminum insert and pressing it into the hub. Has anyone else thought of or tried this before? Or is it just a waste of time.

I would just go with new wheels. As long as you have 3/16 rear axles, You can get these about anywhere. Use T4 T3 or GT wheels.

You can still get wheels for the 10T that fit the 1/4" axles.

Those also come in black. RPM makes a few styles for the 1/4" axles as well.

If you want to stay with the original 3-piece wheels, your best bet would be eBay as they pop up there from time to time.

Sorry, I should of been more specific. My mind goes a lot faster than my typing abilities!!! Mine still has the original 3 piece wheels. The wheel is not ripped up to bad. But it's bad enough where it will not work. As usual, thanks for the link. I'll have to keep an eye for them on eBay.
