Lightest rim

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

What is the lightest rim out there? I really want it to be 17mm also. I want it to be a strong. Right now I have some maximizer beadlocks but they are to heavy for me I really want a lighter rim. So what do you guys think?

I would also like the rim to have offset the more the better

I don't have any experience with SPI wheels so I can't tell you how heavy they are but they do have HUGE offset. What knid of tire are you planning on running? I've heard people say that a dish type wheel with a lower profile tire is better for racing because your eliminating more rubber from the equation, making them lighter than your typical MT wheel/tire combo.

I'm going for Pro-line VTR offset rims with their new caliber VTR tyres next, Pro-line say its their lightest 1/8 truck wheel/tyre combo.

Whats the offset on those?

1/2" i think, they come in 0 offset too.

1/2" offset, http://www.prolineracing.com/p-685-...-or-rear-12-offset-wheels-4-for-18-truck.aspx

0 offset, http://www.prolineracing.com/p-686-...r-rear-zero-offset-wheels-4-for-18-truck.aspx

Caliber tyres http://www.prolineracing.com/p-687-caliber-vtr-40-off-road-18-truck-tires-2-for-front-or-rear.aspx

Only thing is I'm not sure of the hex size.

I really like the spi rims but are they really worth the money??

 

[MikeK1981]

I hear they make your truck much harder to roll in high speed corners (near impossible according to some claims). So if thats what your going for I would say they probably are worth the money.

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

Yeah thats what I am going for

Anyone know the set that i think it was ofna they have a set of rims that has crazy offset and they have 3 spokes. Anyone know what I'm talking out?

I have a set of dish rims here that are full offset IDK what the mfgr is. on the savage I like 1/2 inch tops more is not better for handling. I love proline dish rims. I have yet to crack a set. I have them in both 23 and 17MM cant go wrong with them

Good tip Bank.

I got proline 17mm hex with a 1/2 inch offset. These feel like the lightest rim I've ever used. Tough and light, can't beat that.
