thats great! Did you happen to get pricing or ordering information? Looks like the website doesn't have much info.

I'm lovin' the black 5 spokes!

ddog- If you post up some info, I bet that shop would get a flood of orders. :wink:
Please include the cost if you do post anything up, so we know if the seller jacks up the price after getting 50 orders in the first day. :lol:

Hey boys. The site http://www.jcracingproducts.co.uk/, is correct. It is really primative, so what you see, is it. Missing nothing there. The pictures I posted, were sent to me, after I emailed them directly. Note: I emailed them late in the day, UK time, so I am sure in the morning, I will have prices as well as shipping costs.......Will post tomorrow, as soon as I get some prices and anything else that is important.....

The wheels will fit 2.2 tires. Any recommendations on tires? Brands?

I received the Losi tires, they don't quite fit. I'm going to mess with them to see if I can make them work, but doesn't look promising.

Sorry to hear those tires don't fit. Can you post photos? I'm surprised those 2.0 Losi tires don't fit. Are they too big?

I'm thinking about getting these (link below) from tower but I believe they are the same size you have.

Looking at the rear closely, I see that groove cut into them, to fit the original drive and bearing arrangement. I asked and they say, they are designed to fit, "modern" sized tires....
They make only one style, the 5 spoked, which is pictured below. 3 colors, white, black and yellow....
Anybody heard of them?
How did you find info on this site. When I look at it you can't navagate anywhere and all I see are 1/10 touring wheels and 1/8 buggy wheels and a bunch of tools. Would love to have a couple sets but cant find them!

Thanks

Thanks,
It is the thickness of the beadlock part (Part between the inner ring and the outer wheels). The inner plastic ring doesn't quite fit. I'll grind down a little of the rubber to see if I can make it work sometime this weekend.

I was discussing this Vintage RC10 with a buddy of mine over in the UK. He mentioned his brothers, cousins, sister's, wives boyfriend, (you know what I mean), races rc cars over there. He told him, and told me to contact this company.....
I sent them an email, saying I got a 1990 Vintage RC10. I need wheels. They told me no problem, here are pictures of what they sell. The pictures I posted, are what they sent me. Still waiting for a price. As far as I am concerned, it is a 1 man operation, with little funding for a nice website like www.towerhobbies.com, but he has the original tooling and dies to make the wheels....
