Default Wheels for 40 Series tires

I want to try a set of Proline 40 Series tires on my T-maxx but do not like any of their wheels.[&o]

Does anyone know of any other companies that make 40 Series size wheels or is it just a Proline thing?

Aluminum rims are now available for the 40 series.

No, they are not cheap imitation rims. I like the best for my truck. Its a big hunk of aluminum to machine most of it away.

Alot of people keep asking me for a less expensive version. Maybe I will make some 5 hole rims, without all of the details that makes it go up in cost.

I finished a run of 5 Hole rims for the 40 series. I was able to reduce the machining time and cost, by taking out some of the finer details. I lowered the price considerably on this version.

wow, nice wheels. Gotta love chrome, do you have a pic of them on a truck by any chance?
I really have to try and program some wheels someday.

Mr. RAMTech-RC, I am going to purchase a set of chrome sidewinder 40 series wheels from you. I need to know first if they are available with a offset for the T-maxx. I'm looking for a wheel to make the truck a little wider and have a nice "deep dish" effect. thanks.

Holty, see what I meant about wider is not always better. Looks kind of wierd with the width being the same size as the length.

That looks good on a Raptor. But on a regular T-Maxx, it will look quite odd. My opinion of course. The great thing is, it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, its up to you.
