Default Need Help, Looking For Aluminum Rims

Like the Subject says, I'm looking for Aluminum Rims for my Savage and Mammoth. Anyone know of any web sites that I can check out to see what they got and how much? Any help is greatly appreciated. [8D]

I have stripped many RPM rims, enough to buy a set or two of aluminum. Right now I have a set of the MSJ Gladiators. They are great. I love the fact that they are 2 part rims. But I need to get another set. I'm looking for other places to check out the styles and prices.

I won't throw MORE wood on the "how in the world can Savage let this problem exist?" fire, but isn't there SOME way to move away from the T-Maxx hex-hubs to something beefier? Are there ANY MT tire/rim/hub setups that do NOT use the Maxx std.?

Do the OFNA, MGT, TRX, Mammoth and other big trucks use the same setup? Do they also have a stripping problem, as they are also heavy & powerful like the Savages & I would think would do the same thing?

It seems that the desire to have SOME Maxx-compatibility is causing problems as the mfgs. continue to add power & weight to their trucks over the years.

The Mammoth has a different type of hub. The Savage and T-maxx wheels will not fit onto it without modification. As to their durrability, I dont know yet. But I'll let you know if I start to have problems.
