Just got these earlier today from local model shop, the rims look sweeeeeeeeeet :) Dont' know if it's old news.... and I didn't see yellow rims version.

Texture/pattern of the tires, feels harder then original tires when I squeezed it

How they look on my car, want to mention that
1. the rims are so "opened" so I may need to clean the shafts often
2. the rims are thicker then that come with the car, at where the shaft pass through, over-tighten the nuts will make the rims touching the steering blocks, loose the nuts little bit solves the problem

Performance is not yet tested.

Nice! I bet they probably changed the to a more durable material for the rims. Wonder if Kyosho plans on coming out with more rims/patterns.... Thanks for the info.

Haven't seen those 10-spoke rims, hopefully they're not as brittle and weak as the stock ones...Nice Mini Inferno :)

...Closest Hobby Shop that stock Kyosho stuff is in the next county. :(

Hope so, 2 of the 4 rims that came with the car cracked, I glued them with instant glue but the tire wear off

Can you hit them with a hammer for us and see if they crack? :eek:

Well, please give them a good thrashing anyway, inquiring minds want to know how durable they are for sure ;)

Loose nuts and a clean shaft, you are ready to rock :D

They feel little bit lighter on hand and strong enough to jump in tracks ( of coz for the tracks for mini off-road cars :p )

Edit: BTW take a closer look of the 1st photo, the spokes are thicker then stock rims' dish :)

Sweet looking rims. Can't wait till they start coming out with more tire patterns.
