Offset truck wheels

Post by fasteddie911 »

Hi,
I was wondering where I could find some offset 2.2" truck wheels. I remember HPI used to make some deep dish/offset wheel, which I can't find anymore, but some of their new offerings seem to have some offset. I also read that the duratrax maximum st wheels have some offset. What else is out there? I am looking for the maximum amount of offset. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

a&l monster truck wheels have the most offset they were designed to convert a buggy into a truck and they are super strong. original jrx-t 3 piece wheels have a lot of offset as well. proline monster truck conversion wheels were even wider but the centers sometimes busted out. if you can find them there is the uber rare trinity baja purple chrome wheels my personal favorites

thanks for the suggestions, they seem like they would work, but those wheels look vintage and kind of hard to come by. What other options are there for more current, readily available wheels?

the most current ones would have to be the h.p.i. super star monster truck rims. youre best bet would be ebay but be warned they made 2 styles standard offset and wide offset so make sure you get the right ones. they were universal fit with multiple adapters.

I have some of those Trinity wheels! From memory, a set of RC10 rears, and a set of King Cab fronts.... might have to dig them out and BST them! I love the purple chrome.....

the ones on the right with the holes are my personal favorites. ihave a few beat up used sets and a nib set. the only down side is they have got to be te heaviest wheels i have ever used. i dont run them anymore but man do they look cool, they look even beter with the new matching low profile mini-spike trinity truck tires i have too!

They are long discontinued. EBay is your best bet

Well, that was pretty crappy..... listed those two pairs of wheels TWICE on eBay..... not one bid.

Guess they're not as rare or wanted as people thought....

Back in the dungeon for them.... :shock:

I recall longer axles by a couple companies back in the day. I thought they were all metric for running tamiya wheels tho. Those front wheels look kinda like traxxas. Rears appear to be proline

If anyone needs offset wheels I have a few pairs of Imex wheels for a few different applications from back when you used a buggy arm on a truck. Must have buy/sell/trade access or I could always list them on eBay if nothing else
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas
