40 series rims with some style! - 10.19.2006, 01:52 PM

It seems like most of the 40 series rims out there are dish style rims. Where is a good place to look at for a nice selection of rims that actually have some style?
Thanks.
I forgot to mention that they are for my Maxx.

The Bead Locks made by proline seems very nice, but they are really heavy.
Mike has aluminum 40 series RD Logics rims with bead locks. I dont think they're instock, though.
Mike has a very good place, actually.
Towerhobbies is another place to check out for some good rims for your maxx.


The name is Alawi. You can call me Al.
Nice to meet you!

I'm liking the looks of these. They are fairly new I believe. These are beadlocks that fit the 40 series. Don't know how they work or last, but they look nice.

Thanks for the link. Why does the description have a link in it for tire glue? I thought this was the purpose of buying beadlocks.

Also help me understand the wheel/tire size thing so I dont order a mismatch. 40 series are larger than what comes stock on maxx trucks correct? I need to match 40 series wheels and tires together? Axial calls these wheels oversize, not 40 size, is that the same? Or do you just normally look at the dimensions of each wheel or tire to match them up?

Thanks.

Where does he say beadlocks? Yes, you need to match 40 series tires with 40 series rims. OR, cut the rim with a forty tire! :)

Wabash wheels look good, but personally wouldn't get them. They make the stance too narrow for me.
