As soon as I heard about reviewing dual offset wheels I was pumped about being the one to put them through their paces.
Lets start with looks. 10 spoke wheels with the ability to be flipped around to change the offset. Before seeing them run the spokes look thin and fragile. In order to run them on my savage axles, I had to use the included hardware which includes four hex plates to fit behind the nut, and 4 17mm hexes. Unfortunately the 17mm hexes didnt fit over the savage axles. Luckily I had some 17mm aluminum hexes from HPI laying around and they fit into the wheels perfectly. So I decided to wrap them in Proline Badlands tires and bolt them to my savage. My savage has FLMs extended LCG TVPs so with the extra inch of offset wheels I expected the truck to stay planted without a problem.
There was still about 6 inches of snow on the ground when I first tested the wheels but the roads where dry. So I figured Id try some cornering and launches from a dead stop. Ive run offset wheels in the past and the handling was excellent and thats exactly what I got from Blue Grooves wheels. The wide stance from the wheels and extension from the ch***is kept the truck controlled and planted from hard launches on the pavement. So far Im very pleased with these wheels.
Once the snow cleared up I set up some ramps in the front yard and began to really test these wheels out. Jump after jump of WOT p***es jumping half way across my yard, they held up! Not one crack or chip. The ground was cold so I expected some of the hard hits and cart wheels out have done some damage but there was none.
Im strictly a basher so I put my trucks through their paces and Blue Grooves wheels kept right up.
