Black wheels that wont chip?

[SavageBasherxl]

looking for some black wheels for my xl.

stock ones have the chrome that flakes off and looks dumb.

I want black, but are the black wheels just painted or dyed? or are is that the color of material?

basically want something that even if it has a 1/4 inch deep scratch in it, its all the same color.

any recommendations?

 

[Scott]

Is there a certain style you are lookin for, bead locks or you gonna glue them?

 

[Mickey]

black wheels are made with black plastic so its the same color all the way through the wheel

 

[SavageBasherxl]

sweet that's just what I was looking for

wanted to get these

are they the same size as stock? And solid black all the way through? Sorry I've never done much modding with wheels and tires before.

 

[Mickey]

yep those would be black all the way through and the are the stock size

 

[SavageBasherxl]

sweet thanks. Now how do I go about knowing which tires fit this particular wheel?

 

[Mickey]

anything that is 1/8 scale mt or maxx sized will fit. and the wheel dimension is in the ad

Here's a link to the ones I'll be runnin. I haven't had a chance to run with them yet so I can't comment on the durability of them. But, for the price, can't hurt but to try them out.

They used to be $18.99 for a set of 4. They dropped their prices down a good bit since the last time I checked. And that price of $10 is for all 4, not just 2.

 

[SavageBasherxl]

sweet. thanks for the link.

 

[TimMo8462]

I got my black HPI dish wheels on ebay for I think 26 for all 4 with shipping.

the blue groove wheels are great as long as you use the proper hex adapter. or glue the stock savage hexes into them. i have owned a set for about 2 years and other then 2 spun hexes never broke one. sold them just recently to madmike on the used savage he got from me.

No sorry nitro they won't fit. The size you need to look for has a 3.2" mounting bead. Or basically, standard/maxx size tires.

 

[nitrobasher]

thats ok i actually wanted smaller tires. i don't have good internet right
now (smart phone) so i have to ask does the caliber vtr come in that size?
