I like dish wheels too, I remember when proline used to sell the black ones... they looked sweet as hell with a set of dirt paws around em. Whatever you do, don't get RPM wheels, they suck.

They are not made very well, the chrome flakes off very easily and they crack. I have stripped quite a few out too.

i dont agree, ive got a set of talonz rims that ive had for about 8 years, ive had like 7 sets of tires on those puppy's and they are still great, the beads are scrapped up but the crome is still good, the rims are still intact and the hex's are still just fine. now my trx nitro rusty rims have held up ok at best, hex's stripped, crome fallen off intirely on both the fronts and backs. and my cheapo trx hawk rims are cracked all around the beads and one all the way through.

well, im looking at the black revolvers, so the chrome is not an issue....And cant you send it in to rpm and they will replace it because it is made out of their "special blend of materials"????

They dont make a 3.3 rustler.
I like dishes as well.My stock rims on my rustler, (now slash) have the chrome almost chipped off.Ive needed new ones for quite a while now.

yeah it really all comes down to the surface you run on, a number of tires will work on multiple surface but if you are willing to cough up the $$$ for various sets of tires you can optimize the car for running in each surface (obviously more is involved but tires are a big big part of it)
