Wheels on my MX4

Post by minichamps11 »

My Yoke MX-4 has black smooth wheels with the standard 3 screw fixing. As far as I know, the MX-4 kit came with white multi-spoke design, so my question is which car did the black ones come with? I seem to remember them being genuine Yokomo wheels, not aftermarket. Am I right?

I know this style was available in white but have never seen black ones before.

Sven,

Were the white wheels sold for the MX-4 or the '97 WCS YZ-10's?

Cheers,

Ian

I think the white full wheels were from the follow up buggy after the mx-4 MR-4BC or BX. The standard version had the spoked wheels but the SP (special) version had full dish wheels.

I'd say both the dish and the spoke white wheels were for the mx-4. BX sported the spoked style.

I know the cheap (original) MR4-BC kit came with exactly the same white spoked wheels as the MX-4, and the later MR4-BCS came with smooth white wheels and a unique wheel fixing that no other Yoke has used. The later MR4-BX had similar looking wheels but a hex fitting.

So from what Sven said my black wheels in the first photo & the white version of them must just be optional wheel styles for the MX-4 - anyone got any photos, adverts or magazine scans of cars running them 'back in the day?
