Correct.

However if I chose truggy wheels that have a ID of 3.7" then my tire choices are limited unless I 'stretch' the maxx tires over the wheels and have a lower profile?

Correct.

1/8 buggy wheels seem to be so much more straight forward as they all appear to be same size.

I guess the standard buggy tires and wheels are all they need and to keep ROAR rules simpler ? Actually Proline does have a wider version of the buggy wheels (the V3) but they didn't seem to be very popular because they cut down the turning radius?

Now if I can live with the Losi Velocity dish rims life would be simple but I
am starting to really dislike the bland appearance
Jeff thanks for the explanation....

No problem Mohan, The velocity wheels can be dyed with "RIT" cloths dye for a little variety. It's very simple and straight forward. Do a search on YouTube for "how to".
