Default Re: Bob's M1070 (maybe)

I have used some two-piece Tamiya car rims in the past, where the (white) center screwed into the (chrome) outer rim. The idea of these is that you can screw the center to either the inside or the outside of the rim, to make a more negative or positive track. The problem I've found when you start using these centers as the 12mm hub for other wheels, is that the overall width tends to get really wide.

Personally, I like the Humvee rims, as they don't have much offset. And, since I plan to cover up most of their detail with new hubs anyway, they work out fine for my build.
