back in the 90´s almost every kyosho Lazer ran the five spoke wheels from HPI does any one sitting on an extra upset of wheels???
It is possible to order them from HPI but they only cary the rear wheels and not the narrov front.

Unfortunately, I got rid of my HPI wheels for the kyosho cars. They did make a couple of versions:
2.0 wide rear (all colors)
2.2 wide rear (white and black)
2.2 wide fronts (white and black)
Hpi currently has a 2.2 rear wheels that they used on their super nitro rs4. you can use the rears and modify the fronts to accept a narrow rim. I'd suggest comparing the offsets of the stock front and rear wheels to make sure that the HPI ones aren't too different.

One more piece of information. The 2.2 wheels that HPI currently has aren't the same ones that they sold back in the 90's...totally different mold.

Yeah i have seen that the HPI letters are missing.
I just hope that the offset is what it used to be since i have ordered a pair, time will let us know.
