Does anyone know of a company out there that makes rims to fit the xxt at the moment?

Currently being produced? Jconcepts and JC Racing are it.

Any wheels for 3/16th axle's will fit though, including 10T stuff.

Otherwise it's eBay for 7077/7147 factory wheels...

...or XXXT wheels 7055/7155, 7054/7154, 7040/7050, 7057/7157, etc.

So the 10t front and rear will fit? Never owned a 10t to check.

Don't worry... I won't tell anyone...

So long as they're wheels for a 3/16 rear axle and not 1/4, yep, they'll fit. 3/16 x 3/8 bearings are used up front for both Losi and Associated.

I've found that the 10T rear wheels work well, but the front wheels are the wrong offset and will make the front of the truck really wide. For that reason I use stock XXT wheels up front and Jconcepts mono 10T rear wheels.

XXT front wheels have 1/4 in. more positive offset than 10T wheels
XXT rear wheels have 1/8 in. more positive offset than 10T wheels

On a XXT a set of 10T wheels will stick out 1/4 in. wider per side up front and 1/8 in. wider per side in the rear.

To run 10T or LXT front wheels on my XXT, I used a Duratrax Evader BX axle which doesn't have the additional offset/spacer bit that the truck axles have.

Nice, that's a good idea! I just looked up the part number to order a set for myself, it's DTXC6171.

Only problem with a non-offset wheel axle is that the 10T rims still need modification so that the reinforcement structures on the inside of the wheel doesn't catch against the rear of the front arm at full steering lock. So there's a bit of dremeling/cutting to do there....for each g*ddamned wheel....and then there's still an intrinsic difference in wheel offset between 10T and XXT rims anyway. So you won't be able to get to the "correct" front width even with a zero-offset axle. Small price to pay, I suppose, until someone decides to reproduce XXT rims.
