Aluminium rim alternatives?
hey guys, im not really a fan of the technacraft designs, does anyone have any alternatives?
buggy/truck/pan
I see plenty of well made (and cheap) crawler wheels, surely there are other classes available

Re: Aluminium rim alternatives?
Is there really that many aluminum rims made for current buggies? I would imagine that there isn't. Really aluminum rims are only good for shelf sitters.

Re: Aluminium rim alternatives?
i have a set for a b4. they are basically one offs made by a guy over on oople. he done 2 different styles. one style looked like basically like the stock wheels but in aluminum. the second style looked about the same except it had some small round holes in them.
sadly i found these wheels to be a bit heavy imo even if it was just for a shelfer. my shelfers sit on a stand like a lot of others out there. the wheels i felt put way too much strain on the suspension while hanging there.
