JConcepts Dragon wheels Tracker wheel discs

JConcepts have introduced their new Tracker wheel discs for the Dragon Mega Truck wheels. The Tracker wheel discs are replacement options for the Dragon wheel sets to provide a new look or to simply change the colour scheme to existing wheels. Inspired from Weston Anderson’s Bog Hog, the Trackers sport a burly, angular steel-like build similar to versions utilised on the real deal. The injection-moulded, 2-piece design item, features a full-face that covers the wheel and is secured from the inside-out. The Tracker set is unique and includes a cover for the wheel nut that creatively interlocks with the disc to create a completely closed off mega truck look. Available in multiple colours, the disc set includes four disc pieces, four wheel nut covers and hardware to make the installation to a #3379 Dragon wheel set.
