larger offset rear wheels ?

Hi all,

I am looking at the JC Racing 5 - spoke wheels.

First, are they direct pin, or hex adapters? does anyone here know?

Second which wheel will result in a wider wheel track, B2/3 or original RC10 wheels?

From the looks alone I'd say the B@/3 wheels, but I'd like to be sure before I order.

Thanks, Tony

Same offset, the difference is the axle. Original uses 1/4" axle and the b2 and b3 use 3/16 axle.

Thanks GoMachV,

I'm aware of the axle diameter, the pictures just look like the spokes have a deeper offset in the B2 wheel.

Of course the images could be wrong or swapped.

Direct pin, a staight swap.
Good wheels by the way. A great look and opens up massive tyre options.
