1:8th buggy wheels (17mm hex)

[nativepaul]

Thanks rootar, I like the look of those advantage multispoke wheels and the price is very good too.

speedybl, I've been thorough the ofna list and they have some great styles but not in black or silver, and strangely they don't show the hyper7 wheels that I have in black any more, maybe they have stopped making black wheels and just have stock left in a few styles.

I like the hockenheim style ofna v spoke better than the advantage multispoke but they have chrome not silver and grey not black


I love the oz f1 style ofna star spoke but they are only available in yellow or grey


Has anyone seen black versions of these hanging around in ther local model shop? Or know of another manufacturer that makes a similar style in silver or black?

I am VERY happy with the Medial Pro Tarmac IIs they have good grip and they don't use foams, they have a honeycomb of rubber supports inside the tread that glues flat to the wheel to ensure that the tyre doesn't squirm under loading or balloon, it feels firm like a solid block of rubber and yet they are very light, it made such a huge difference in handling when I switched to them from the road rages which I could see moving almost an inch from overhanging one side of the rim to the other when I went from a left turn to a hard right and visa versa, so I am reluctant to use anything else, however those ofna Vtreads that you have on the buggy in your avatar look like they are much lower in profile than the road rages so maybe if they have much thicker sidewalls and firmer foams they wouldn't be too bad and the Tarmac IIs are hard to find unmounted, how are you finding them? I see they come in banded or unbanded, are the bands thick enough to stop ballooning with BL or are you better off getting the unbanded ones and taping them?

The buggy is a Hot Bodies Lightning 2 Pro, hence the paint scheme and the body is a Mantua Models Ford Focus, do you not have the focus in the states?
