Besides stating the obvious that majority of HPI TC's are 200mm (E10 and Nitro RS4). Its a bummer for us 190mm guys to look for deep offset rims just to fit them on.
But hey, that body does look sweet!
probably makes it easier to scale some cars to 200mm
as well as the fact that it's easier to make a 190mm car 200mm than it is to go the other way... so if there is a bod you like... it'll be easier for you to make the body fit either chassis type w/o having to fork out for two separate molds...
6mm offset wheels are pretty readily available for 190mm cars to help make 200mm bodies fit.... I know I know.... there will be a 1mm difference per side.... but actually, even 200mm bodies are slightly too wide for 200mm cars... so the extra track width will help fill the wheel wells nicely
