Which adapter to use with Hornet Large Dia. Wheel Set

[RC_Hobbyist]

I accidentally bought a set of Hornet one piece large diameter wheels. 
Since they were inexpensive (US$6), I kept them and ended up buying 
a set of rally block tires to keep as a spare set.

With that being said, does anyone know which adapters to use with this particular wheel set on the rears of the hornet?
Is it the hex or cylindrical adapter

I would expect they are for the standard hornet adapters given that they’re being sold by Tamiya for hornets. 
 

That said, if the inside face has a hexagonal recess then they are for hex adapters. 
 

a photograph of the inside face would help.

I'll double-check when I get home, but I'm pretty sure they are meant to fit the new Hornet clamp on hubs.

ETA:  if they are 12mm hex drive, you can use a set of adapters like these:

Based on the photo below, it looks like they take the cylindrcal adapters, which I already have on the rear axle, as I bought a set of star dish wheels.

As a side note, the front wheels have two round openings for the bearings.

As an aside, these wheels do not take dye, and need to be painted (if you don't want white).

Those wheels fit with no special adapters needed, just the standard 5 point hubs that came with the hornet/grasshopper, ORV buggies, SRB's and CW-01 platforms.

I don't mind the white, especially since I am trying as much as possible to keep it to the original

The set I tried to dye ended up a puke brown color, so I sprayed them with primer and some kind of Tamiya TS silver (glossy aluminum???).

How did that turn out?

The Tourque Tuned?  It's a really nice upgrade from the standard silver can.  The TT with a 19T pinion vs. the stock silver can with a 17T is a great cheap upgrade to the EVO.  It isn't life changing but I would say a nice 15-20% increase which makes the EVO feel really fun to drive.

 

I mean it isn't one of my TLRs or my Schumacher etc. but for driveway fun......the EVO with a TT is awesome on 2S.

They look good with a new coat of paint.
