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

they havent made offsets yet. If they did they are extremely rare.

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.
