Titanium Wheels??

[THE JUDGE]

Check these out, something I've never seen:

Very pricey, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were as light as plastic. Has anyone ever seen these before? Or better yet, does anyone have them?

wow! great idea ... shame about the design ... not that great imo ...

look cool but don't fit big tires and only 14mm hex with todays high powered motors they would not last just my 2cents

Actually, I would have expected a much higher price for a full set of 4 titanium bead-lock wheels. Really, most Axial or Pro-Line plastic bead-lock wheels come out to close to $70 for a set of 4. $99 seems like a steal for Ti in my mind, but then, I am still new to this game.

That's one reason I'd love to know if anyone has used them...

I suppose you could glue the tires if you had to, that'd be kind of a shame too tho...

 

[jammer]

indeed it would ... i'd be interested in some of these if there were other designs available.

I checked out their website just for giggles...more pics, plus a set of gigantic beadlocks.

I agree with you. The reason you have problems with 14mm is because they spin the the plastic wheel or you let them get loose.

I like those Jumbo ones, the reason I don't get some of those jumbo tires is because of the 14mm hex on a big tire like that. (though it may be fine, don't know) Just rather have 17mm. but did you see the price they want for the jumbo set? $350, figures
