awsome new pro-line wheel!
 

Hey, dont know if anyone has seen these new wheels already. They are very very 'blingy' and are also bead-locs, 45$ a pair

http://www.pro-lineracing.com/proline.html

here is the direct link.

It looks like one interesting wheel! a 40 serie beadlock with a 23 mm hex..

Interesting indeed, but I don't really like the design, though.

Yeah Dafni;

Not my bag of coockies either.. But, it's the 1st 40serie non glue rim

Very nice! $45 a pair though. :eek:

$45 is the reccomended retail price, hopefully they will be less than that

wow, i need one of those!

I would prefer all 4. :L:

They have been up on the site for a few weeks anyone know of when they will be released I want to hear a report on them.

Yeah, not feelin those either..... :cool:

must take a hell of a long time to set them up. Each wheel has 18 screws per side - 36 screws per wheel - 144 per truck!!!!! Therefore to change a set of tires you need to unscrew/screw 288 screws!!! Thats basically a complete rebuild!

Ja, I thought the same. But here's a quote from the PL site:

This makes your truck totally customizable in a short amount of time.

Short amount of time?! Well, geologically speaking, a few thousand years are a rather short amount of time. LOL

Probably less time to change them than to bake the old tires of a regular set of rims, though. With all those screws, the customer will look like Popeye after changing the tires a few times. :)

im not liking them, too heavy and too much $$. i would rather buy a new set of wheels then use those.

I prefer stock, very strong if not the strongest wheel out. Although on the heavy side. Might invest in some boring disc type wheels to lose a pound or so. :)

Any sugggestions?

good luck trying to take a pound off the stock wheels.....u would be left with nothing!!! :p they're heavy, but not THAT heavy

Well, with tyres too - I'm sure it's possible. ;)

It is pretty easy to lose a pound by switching tires. The wheels, on the other hand, are not that heavy. I like the stock wheels myself (good strength/weight combo IMO). Bow ties are my favorite tire at most tracks.

Its all very well trying to shave weight off my using smaller tyres and lighter wheels - but don't forgot, the emaxx is a monster truck and is designed to have oversized wheels! Half the fun is being able to run over pathetic little 1/10th sedans....:L: :L:

Yeh, lol, I guess, although you can still have massive wheels and lose weight. ;)

Hmm, that sounds rather rude now I think about it. :Love:

how?.........or do you just have a sick mind, and I don't.....:p

288 screws? bet you the 287th one strips out.....:rolleyes:

Ha.....knowing me I'd probably loose the 287th screw, not strip it. I just took apart my diffs and lost the spyder gear shaft, so I've know got to buy a whole knew spyder gear set - guess it can't hurt to have some spare gears...:rolleyes:

Sounds familiar.. Especially when wrenching on a 15 cm high wool carpet.. (chicks love it, at least, my one does...)

Sounds like you need a very LLAAAARRRGGGEEEE magnet......:p

Yeah, perhaps I'll find my savage back too :D

lol....:L:

I like the new rims I cant wait untill the come out
They look coool but Ihope the have different rings for them like mickey thompson does that would be soooo cool!:cool:

If you get the rims. Take a small drill bit and drill all the way through the houles. You will get a tighter grip on tire and less likely to stripe. I have set of the gold. Wish i would have waited for the sliver. That is just the experence i had. Get the dewalt screw gun out to take it apart. Saves time and forearm.

those wheels are alrdy out... well the orange one are
but the silver i didnt see yet at my LHS
they are HEAVY!!!!
for me they dont look so great
I guess they're great for rockcrawlers

that and three packs of batteries.. ;)
