Nope....
Have seen blue...But not purple....
Krylon put's out that plastic spray paint called "fusion"
Might look kind of Cheesy tho....I did spray some rims black with it and it has held up well...

Try these on

http://www.rc-parts.com/home.htm

You'll Have to get some adapters for the front. All I can tell you is that these wheels are BULLETPROOF. Motha*uckers on here talk mad shhh about my aluminum wheels. But yo check this, THEY DONT BEND, CRACK OR WARP. Plus they dont way that much more than plastic. They should last for at the very least one full year before... Screw that, I run my truck HARD, and I've had them for a while now and they barely have scratches on them. You could tell where there are scratches, that it would of been a nasty deep gouge on a plastic rim.

Check mine out

Just get some purple nutz, and you'll be straight kid.

HPI_Mt2, i dont want to ruin your post but I have a question for AerielGunner.

Hey AerialGunner,
I have HPI Rush Evo and I have the same street tires as you have on your car.
I am having a hard time driving on them, its like driving on ice, if i touch the throttle the car just spinns.
Maybe it is the toe in at the rear, i dont kow, but my Rush Evo is more or less stock, I the only thing that I have done to it is to get a bigger airfilter and change the hex at rear from plastic to aluminium.
The front tires are in straight line, no to in or out, and it is absolute stock(unchanged at rear), I dont know how much toe in or the canter.

What do you think could be the problem here.

Well, I have the same problem, just lossen your slipper clutch a little bit, that will help alot with putting power to the ground. I also have a heavier car. The tow-in on the rear helps stabalize it at higherspeeds, but I dont know about on the lowend. The camber, get some adustable tie rods, you can then adust the camber so you have more rubber contact on the road, but you'll eat your rims alive with no camber on the wheels.

Not made for truck pulling, but seem to be good at it, there intended for sand and soft dirt. Masher 2k's are better ALL around tires, good for street,hard packed dirt(maybe some soft as well),grass,etc..
