PN Racing machined 6-spoke Mini-Z wheels

Coming from PN Racing and made for the Kyosho Mini-Z 2WD and similar palm-sized on-road cars are machined 6-spoke wheels. The white colour rims are available in narrow, medium and wide specifications to suit all tyres and track width settings. While offering a cool and sturdy design their construction allows to add different diameter carbon fibre outer slip rings that do away with the need to add unsightly CA glue walls in order to counter traction rolling in high-bite track conditions. Instead the carbon fibre rings can be attached to the outside, not only helping against traction rolling but also reinforcing the sidewall of the tyre for improved durability.

JConcepts Tactic street eliminator wheels in chrome

JConcepts continue to bring the chrome, with the announcement of the new colour variant of their Tactic street eliminator wheels. Previously only available in black, the Tactic wheels are direct replacements and upgrades for the Associated DR10. The heavy spoke design and 1:1 influence impose their will on the competition. The front wheel design extends to the outer edges giving the wheel a larger look while the rear style has a mock bead lock appearance and hefty lug detail. The inner ribbing spreads like the roots of a tree to secure the inner 12mm hub geometry. The front Tactic wheels feature a 2.2” size which match to just about any existing buggy tire on the market while the rear wheel features a beefy, SCT 2.2” x 3.0” size and fit any SCT tire already produced. The wheels fit a vast number of vehicles for anyone looking to undertake a Street Eliminator project and accept a 12mm hex drive. Popular vehicles which use the Tactic wheels include, the Traxxas Slash, Bandit, Rustler as well as the popular line-up of Team Associated short course trucks and the purpose built DR10.

JConcepts Colt 1.9” chrome beadlock wheel

Following up on their all black Colt 1.9” beadlock crawler wheel, JConcepts have released a chrome alternative. The cleverly designed beadlock alternative for 1.9” tyres features 8 triangle spokes that provide a Wagon look which is perfect for vintage builds and trucks that need a raw muscle look of the 1970’s and 80’s. Dipping into the assembly, the Colt wheels assemble from the inside out and include an inner pinch ring which helps lock the two halves together. The outside of the wheel has the 12mm hex already blended into the design while supplying a sturdy wheel offset capable of taming an assortment of terrain. The final look arrives after the completed assembly is secured on the truck and the centre cap is placed into position with included screws. The centre cap covers all wheel nut and fitment territory and leaves the look of the wheel clean and stylised. The wheels are molded in a durable material and they come as pairs.
