I've got some V2 wheels from Proline, they are substantially wider than regular rims. With the tires on, they don't look entirely unreasonable, but the bead is stretched a bit. Anyone try them like that? I don't want to glue them up only to discover they suck...

I have the v2 s I belive on my ebuggy ..with clay switches so it makes the tire seem lower profile because the rim is bigger in o.d. not width ..I like'em can't complain..v3 not sure not tried ..more of an offroad tire then I'd maybe just stick with std rim ..

I've got some regular rims that I reclaimed, but they're pretty beat up. That's why I bought these new ones. Got a great deal, shoulda been more observant on the description... Doh!
