Default FG and Smartech wheels

Can someone either measure or take a pic of both beside each other. (MT version) I was wondering if the diameter is different.

From what I know the dia is different.

Here is the data on a Carson/Smartech MT Rim.

Dia: 121mm (aprox 4.76" )
Widht: 80mm (aprox 3.15" )

The Carson/Smartech MT Rim has a steel reinforcement ring, but even with 17mm wheel squares there is only just room for Magura Hydro's

Unfortunately I only have the weak Carson/Smartech Rims.
From the pictures of the comming 4WD smartech/carson it looks like new and better rims are on the way.

Thanks for the pic. What's the overall diameter of the tires compared to FG MT's? I may have to just call the guy up and see if he can sell the wheels since he was only selling cars at the hobby show over here.

I called the guy up tonight and he's going to get me some quotes. Chop Suey is also interested.
