Frog Jumper 3661 Posted October 9, 2022 What color are you after??? Paint, or find some white HPI superstars or Proline Blackfoot wheels, though I’m not sure of the figment of the Prolines… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saito2 6686 Posted October 9, 2022 Frog Jumper's correct. Any wheel made for the original or re-re Blackfoot would fit. Blackfoot wheels are larger in diameter but narrower than stock Lunch Box wheels. The LB tires can be stretched over BF size wheels but the sidewalls will bulge from their narrower width. Of course going with BF wheels opens you up to many more tire options. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, but some of the 3rd party nylon offerings for the BF can be dyed, like the HPIs or Proline 2526 and 2527. The BF wheels are 2.2” which was a fairly common size back in the day. LB wheels are 2.0” and not as common. Many 3rd parties made 2.2” tires. I’m particularly fond of the Imex Claw Dawgs… https://www.imexrc.com/products/imx7575 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frog Jumper 3661 Posted October 9, 2022 You might look around for Pumpkin wheels. They come in chrome and black and fit the LB tires. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frog Jumper 3661 Posted October 9, 2022 Also the Montero cw01 wheels are white. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
