Since this question comes up a a few times, I think a thread would be in order. If anyone has any input or common knowledge please share, so that the persons needing help have a reference.

If you have or want to run a two bolt hub setup on your 12th scale vintage car, and you do not know what wheels work, or what to search for.


Here is a start, try these options:

-Original RC12 series wheels (Pre RC12L3)

-RC12LC White Dish Wheels

-TRC White 8 spoke wheels (similar to the Assocated items)

-TRC Black "ZR1" wheels

-TRC Flourescent Yellow wheels - these have six holes and as such can be run on 2 and 3 bolt hubs.

-Jaco (Black colored) wheels - NOTE the Gray and White colored wheels are 3 bolt !

-Johns BSR Dish wheels (not the new version) these had four holes in them so you could run 2 or 3 bolt hubs

-RC4Less Orange wheels - these have six holes and as such can be run on 2 and 3 bolt hubs


Hope it helps,

Sorry if you already answered this somewhere else Kent, but exactly what dye did you use to get that shade of flo yellow on those parts? Looks killer.

I miss wheel dots.

I remember when you would risk a DQ if you did not have a wheel dot.

That's Flo Yellow liquid dye, thought it was made by Rit. Not sure if they still sell it.
