buy another set of the mesh with xpatterns. They work for both and last much longer than the stockers. You can also find really cheap wheel-tires combos on ebay from 3racing.

Sorry for all the questions but i love this car and i want to know how the pros do it. now i have bought a set of 3racing rims and a set of Aggressive tires. what i want to know is how do you glue the rims to the tires and does anything go in between such as foam etc. thanks for any help. would i be able to take these wheels down to my local hobby shop and would they be able to glue them for a small charge. thanks again.

if foam came with the tires, then they are intended to be used with them. Otherwise no. You can use any CA glue, which can be purchased at your hobbyshop. I find that if you use the medium CA glue, then you can sometimes re-use the wheels. There is a tire-specific glue but usually if that is used your wheel "becomes one with the tire". Its really up to you. Good thing about micro stuff is that tires/wheels are cheap. I bet your hobbyshop probably wouldn't even charge you to glue them on if you bought the glue from them..

Thanks Moose.
PS the tires came with foam inserts.
