Jason, I used HPI rims when I had my MBX5T, the Pro-line rims are a rip off in my opinion, you can get 4 Panther rims for around the same price as 2 Pro-Line's. I use Panther rims no problems most of the time but they have bad batches. I also have a few sets mounted on Kyosho rims, but only because they were free. But they hold up good too.
