hey out there.

Just wondering who makes wheels that fit the stock hpi tires. getting a little sick of spinning out the hexes on my stockers, but really like the gt2 tires and would like to keep them.

I was looking at the rpm revolvers, has anyone tried them?

Have you tried gluing the hexes and more importantly using thread lock on the wheel nuts. That helped me limit my wheels from stripping out.

I superman tighten my wheels. Haven't had an issue yet. But I have stripped hexes on the axial rims

Try a buggy style hex

I'm stripping out glued and pin modded wheels. I'm trying some 17mm conversion options right now but the wheels are still sloppy on the hubs. even tries brand new ones at lhs and same problem with them. The hpi wheels are just not fitting tight enough.

Love the tires, hate the wheels.

These wheels fit the 3.2 hpi tires? looks like it.

How are they holding up?

I'm running flux on 6s.

the spokes are deep into the rim.
They fit 3.2 tires.
At 8.99 They are a cheep investment.
I race with them and they have held up very well.
I'll try to get some pics of the spokes and the back of them for you.

Those wheels look cool, kinda like some old school torque thrusts. They would match up with a charger body. Or some other muscle car body.
