Aluminum Rims Where to Buy?

Post by mikedealer »

i need a set of 1.5" fronts (tamiya size) and a set of 2.0-2.1" rears (old associated size) Aluminum Rims, PReferably Matching in style, simple plain would be lovely..

Does JPS Do Tamiya Style Fronts? do they still mail order? Any other help would be great

yes exactly, but the rears wont fit i belive (i bought some 2.0" sand paddle tires)

i bought there fronts hoping i could find a set of matching 1.5 & 2.0 aluminum rims to fit a rc10, even with adapters etc

Those rad 22 alloys look killer but they are pricey and you still need the inner rim piece from a stocker. I bought a set for one of my Sand Scorchers.

your going to have a hard time finding a set of the sizes you want. Plus I think it will look goofy having rear rims that are larger than the front. I really like the look of the 1.5's in the rear

This is my rough rider with 1.7 rough rider fronts and 1.5 rears, The covers are vintage RCH aluminum.
