Vintage butchery is all good, when done right. When you OWN the parts, YOU be da []D [] []v[] []D.RedScampi wrote:Got them yesterday. Was disappionted to see that they are truck rims. I guess I got a little trigger happy on the auction which stated they are for rc10, but failed to mention their width. But, I have an idea to make them work. Hope no-one here will be offended at a little vintage butchery!Doomed wrote:That's the hard part, do you have the wheels yet?

Re: Optima with Bru-Lines
Ha hah! Funny Marc! I don't feel too bad about the possible chopping up of these wheels since I really have little use for truck rims. I decided to concentrate on the buggies because well, I can't have one of everything. Plus, I really want to build a project or two with some of my own thought going into them instead of just bolting parts together. But, I'll start my own thread when I do that...Coelacanth wrote: Vintage butchery is all good, when done right. When you OWN the parts, YOU be da []D [] []v[] []D.

Re: Optima with Bru-Lines
Just for general information....Imex still sells the XTRA Wide slicks that used to be marketed for Bru-Line truck wheels. At least I think they're the same....same part number and name.

That is awesome!
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

Re: Optima with Bru-Lines
How did I miss this thread ? Other than Techna's I've never been a fan of aftermarket Kyosho rims but those look real good . I've had a imex slick on my workbench for years always hoping to find a set . Old thread but hopefully an update if any ?
