Pegasus Hobbies makes em in Gold or Chrome. I think those or the HPI Vintages would be excellent choices depending on your paint.

can you find some with a offset? i have a tt01 and wanted to run a 200mm body, but that requires a lot of offset in the rim. is there any or no?

good luck on the bell air.

peace, Big John of Team GC

Buy a Set of HPI rims, they usually come with offset plates.. Usually of 1 or 2 mm

To offset the wheels out buy a bag of flat washers @ your local hardware store and shim them out.
