Yokomo 834 Aluminum Wheel Help

Post by dcar513 »

I have some aluminum wheel inserts for the yokomo 834 wheels but only have three of each. Does anyone know who made these? I have 3 deep ones and 3 shallow ones. The shallow ones fit great, the deep ones I can't see how it they work any help would be great.

Thank,
Devon

Thanks for the heads up I will be on the lookout for them. Do you know what style he's going to make?

almost identical to yours. but the covers will cover the wheel's outer ribs. so you cannot see the yellow wheels.
and, did you get the package that I sent? I didn't yet :mrgreen:

I know the name of the company, but the name escapes me at the moment. I know that doesn't do you much good, but I will see if I can find it.

Do you know what the deal is with the deep set I dont see how they would work on these rims?

I think the idea was, if you wanted to run narrow tires up front, you would have to remove material from the outside edge of the wheel so that the cover sits flat with the wheel center. This is all conjecture/opinion of course.
