Please could someone tell me which wheels fit the new big joes tires and has anyone thought of spraying the stock wheels cause all the chrome just flakes off
THANKS RICK
 
Any stock sized tmaxx wheels will work, you will need velocity 6 wheels for big joes, the welds need s 50-60$ adapter to fit.

if all the chrome on your wheels has not come off and u want to save some $ try dying them.. use some acetone to pull whats left of the chrome off.. and follow instructions below..

Items needed, some of the 3 for 2$ Gladlock type containers, ya know the ones that are microwave safe. this is your dying dish....

and some dye

steps to doing it.

i set the wheels in the dish, filled it with water, since mine are 2 tone i had to do a little marking for my desire on the dish so i knew how much water was needed at a level area to do that. i used a marker to mark the position with wheels in the water, then took the wheels out and marked it with out wheels, will be a lower water line.

Boil a pan of water, then pour into the tub to the water line, mix in the dye (used a plastic picnic type spoon) and set wheels in. the longer they sit the darker they get.

in all they dye job costed me 6$ and i have no problem with pitching the dye pan so i know my son will not ever get to it.

so how do they look? Note: the blue color i have no idea why my camera did that, it is purpal... with a yellow/golden back, looks sweet on the savage.

I have also found that chrome dyes just as easy... as for my big joes,

also use a old pizza box to set the tub of water on, so if you splash or drip it hits it...
