Does anyone have these? If so, what do you think?

RE: Wheels
Great Idea, but I think it's more suited for a shelf queen.
I run the Proline Velocity 6 40 series with Proline Bowties and love them. The chrome finish on the velocity 6's was trashed after two tanks of gas so forget about it lasting on those rims you pictured above.

RE: Wheels
I'm not necessarily concerned about looks but how the tire is mounted to the wheel. Currently I have velocity 6 40 series wheels and dirt hawg tires. Since installing a wasp .28, I need to re-glue the tires after racing and practicing on the track.

RE: Wheels
If you have to re-glue often, chances are that you are not glueing them properly. First, remove all of the chrome where you will be applying glue. Glue the tires where the tire sits on the rim (Not at the bead, but at the innermost part - on both sides of the tire. When that is dry, then glue the bead (i.e. - edge). This makes them rock solid and they will last a very long time!!!
With my first set of tires, I only glued the beads. I reglue them every 2-4 tanks. With my Mambos and Big Joes, I did it the way I described above and have 1.5 Gallons on them without a single re-glue!!!
I run 80% on pavement, so I am brutal on the bead/glueing of a tire...believe me, proper glueing works!!
