Most people are getting away from 23mm and going 17mm, alot more rim options.

Maybe so, but i am horse trading for them "a good used set". And will need a set of 23mm hubs for them.

I am not a racer and wont be needing wheel choices much. Heck even if I did I already have aluminum 14 and 17 mm hub sets. So I geuse I could run everything there is anyway.

I would strip my wheela all the time with 14 mm. switched to 23mm adapters and it's a thing of the past, love them and would have nothing less.

good to hear revo.

I am hoping that bow ties on 40's will be a good tire for the street. i want i low side wall. i want the truck to slide better.

i hope the 40 bow tie will be not much taller that stock tmaxx tires. I hate a tall tire. i understand teh rim is taller. but with low profile of the tire ,i hope that over all it will be low and fat.

I want to pick up a set of these today. Some of yall please point me to the ones i should get. I see a few styles,, I allways like to get opinions before buying, I waste enough money , I would rather waste it on the rite stuff .

These shims on some of them turn me off. Are there any without shims? And I would rather not get integy ones,but am i wrong about them in this instance?

Whats up with TOPCAD brand? or ACNCM ?

I am using the Proline 23mm hubs. No problems after 2 months and they work well. You can use a 23mm socket to tighten them, but a good 23/17mm combo wheel wrench is so much easier to use. Good Luck.

no man there 14.99 for only 2 of them you have to buy 2 kits. pluss shipping charges .

the cheapest i found them was 12.49 on ebay and 3 dollars shipping and still had to times that by 2.

so that like 30 bucks. and i think teh dynamites might be a little better,with the coverd nut and all.And i dont see any shims ,I am sure i could deal without haveing to fool with shims whenever i want to swap over to my 14mm wheel sets.

take a second look . most of the proline sets i have seen are only 2 to a kit. they even sell singles some places.

oh and you dont need a credit card dude,i just use my bank card,it's the same as cash.you know them ATM cards
