Need help identifying these rims please! - 10.19.2006, 11:18 PM

I came across these rims in this months issue (november 06)of Radio Control Car Action on page 78. I've been searching all day and can't find anything that even resembles them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (Tires too please)
Thanks.

They're HPI Blast wheels...available in black, chrome or white.

Also, those look like Phaltline tires:

Cool, thanks skellyo! Those are deffinately the ones. However, they look really wide on that guys truck in the pic that I supplied.
I checked HPI's website and they don't seem to have those rims or tires anymore. Nothing on ebay either. Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

There had been some on Ebay about a week ago. Towerhobbies has them listed as late oct.
Don't tell me the WORLDS FASTEST MONSTER TRUCK is a nitro:035: .

Thank you,
Promod

They're actually a new line from HPI. I don't think tower has had any in stock yet. I'm guessing the guy was affiliated with HPI or something in order to have had them that early.
