Those look really nice, especially on your purple Savage. Do the Ringz wheels use 14mm hubs?

Pretty cool. They look like baby Mickey Thompson Baja Claws.

I think they resemble MT baja claws too and one of the reasons I chose them, for the realistic tread design.
also that they are as tall as 40's but without the big rim to make them look ghetto like dubs.

The only other tires for the Savage Ive used are the Dirtbonz that my SS came with and a set of GT1 or 25 stockers. they are bigger than the 25's but weigh only a little more on the rims they come with. the ringz rims have bit bigger ID for more clearance than the older Savage style rims. I weighed all four wheels in a plastic bag with my fishing scale at 2.5 pounds.
anyways I ran them for a little wile sat. and they work awesome, I'm very pleased. I haven't tried them on pavement yet.
