IMHO I think these wheels are setting off all the buggies in this thread well, I do like my race styled models but a bit of bling can look great too

That shot is a bit misleading as you're showing the backside of that tecnacraft

Sorry for a slightly off topic question, but which body is that? VIper? I haven't seen one with the windows cut out - looks cool.

They showed up built that way and I think they look more realistic
I like the smaller basket more true to a period BBS GTP wheel.
Front offset works on a 10L the rear is about 1/8" off - I may make a small spacer. I will get them mounted on a 10L and take some pics and measurements.

This may seem like a dumb question, but it looks like these require hex drives, so how do the fit the RC10?
I'm only throwing myself out there because I want a pair if I ever see the 5 spokes come back.

My understanding is that Lohas includes an adapter hub for the RC10s rear drive. The front wheels use typical bearings.

Emerson "Lohas" includes a metal hex adapter with the wheels for the RC10.

ok cool that's sweet! Too bad Lohas wouldn't do orders for people instead of us waiting for more to come out.

Yes, the 5 spoke will be back. I had confirmed there are still some rough center rims in my OEM site which are not finished the CNC yet. So I will have chance to get more 5 spoke for sale. Around 15 sets I guess, I did not check if any defect parts mix in. However, this is the soonest way to come out the rim.
Besides, I'm sure I'm not able to produce another lot. Because my OEM requires 200 sets minimum order which is not I can handled any more.
However, I need 1~2 weeks to finish the 15 sets. Then I will post them in RC10talk again since I really hope to support all my friends here.
