Wheels on my MX4
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?

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

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.

Re: Wheels on my MX4
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?

I think those black rims were produced by CML .........I got a set in white..........maybe the previous owner dyed them black.........
