Status: offline 		they are a very good set of wheels/tires, so you made a good choice there.

personally i have the same setup, but with BRT1 tyres instead of the meats. if you are planning on racing, the BRT1's may be a better choice, but if your not bothered about winning, then youll have fun either way!

Status: offline 		i did a very dumbass thing last week! i went with a mate to a h/s quite a distance from me, and happend to see some hotbodies 7 inch truckzilla rtr rims and tyres on the shelf, They look nice i thought, i said to the guy ill take a set of those hotbodies revolutions with the dozer tyres while im here.

took my bag, paid and went home (2 hours drive) got home went to put them on and would you belive it i got one pair of revolution and one of ufo! haha, whoops.

no worries though, the hs is sending me the other 2 pairs to match at a slightly discounted rate, the truck looks kinda cool with the revolutions on the front and the ufo on the rear though!

Status: offline 		Keep a close eye on those wheels. Due to the weight of the tires/wheels, (nearly 3 pounds per pair), they tend to destroy the hex's pretty easily. If you do alot of jumping, they can be trashed in one tank of fuel if you land on the throttle too much.

Status: offline 		That was actually in reply to Simmyoto, sorry.

Any of the Hot Bodies 7" tire/rim combos are very heavy. Nearly 6# for the whole set. It's extremely hard on your driveline, especially if you jump alot. Toss them on a scale, you'll be suprised.

Status: offline 		Since we're on tire weight,I like to get a set of lighter wheels and tires but I don't want tiny wheels like a stadium truck.I'm looking for taller rims then the stock ones with lower profile tires and an overall lighter weight.Any out there?

IMHO I love the meats and the rims you have there although I will go for the gunmetal rims, but as you know I like the look of a Big Beefy truck anyway and I wont be racing alot! Very good choice m8!
