@MarkyDents, did you ever get tires for these?

I'm trying to get the 5 bean version of these Mini-Mags reproduced, would you mind if I used your excellent pics to show the machinist how it was done? Can I also use your pics for reference in my, RC...

I came across these a couple weeks ago. The are shaped just like the original 3 piece wheels but the front piece is aluminum. The back and middle spacer (not sure what it's called) are still plastic but chrome plated. Anyone know who makes these? I...

Last post

A few different people have made those in aluminum over the years. I figured they were all aluminum. Maybe some of the manufactures only made the faces in aluminum.

This is KingCobra's build and I always wanted to know who made these wheels and where I can get them for my rc10 or where they a custom make by some machinist? Anyone have any intel on them? Please post.

Last post

Since these wheels were designed with off road buggys in mind, it is normal for the rears to be a smaller diameter. What you need to do is find a tire with a taller sidewall to get the car to sit and look right. Maybe some foams?

First post

So I am converting this RC10T im building to 3/16 but I want to eventually breakdown and get some aluminum wheels. Would it benefit me to run 3/16 or should I just stick with 1/4 because I want to run maybe vintage aluminum wheels?

Last post

Thats not bad a price, I expected to pay at least $100 for a nice set of aluminum wheels.

These were in a recent gold pan lot I picked up. Seem to be about 1.8 / 1.9 across. No grooves for tire beads.

Never seen these before, any ideas?

Last post

Never seen those before either. They could be custom jobs. If they have no grooves for tire beads, I would imagine they're for foams.

Guys,
A few years ago I got some decent looking Technacraft aluminum wheels on a Gold Pan that I bought on Ebay.
I'm just getting to them:

I was hoping to get some advice on what to use to clean and polish them. I'm going to disassemble them to...
