Proline maxx size dish rims is what you want with 17 mm hexes. I personaly use ofna 1/2" offset 17mm dish rims they are a little cheeper. If you get the white ones you can dye them any color you want.

I run the proline 1/2inch offset truggy rims with maxx size badlands.

Anybody ever dye their wheels before? I was looking at the proline dish wheels, but I want black. Can the Proline ones be colored with dye or should I go with OFNA?

I just ordered a set of badlands from SMF, and am going to put them on Maximizers i just ordered. I think the combo will workout well.

good choice. i really like my maximizers, and they make a nice lookin' combo with the badlands tire. just be sure to use the ring shim and clean off the mold release from the bead of the tire really well first and you shouldn't have any problems slippin' a bead. think about gorilla tapin' the inside of the badlands too.

 

[JESTUS]

what should I clean the bead with???

 

[Core]

i use denatured alcohol and it works well.
