Default Dish style for SC?

Does anyone make a dish style wheel for SCT's? I know it goes against the whole "scale" look. I am planning on getting a SC10 4x4 an wanted to get dish wheels, mainly just to stand out agains the other SCT's racing around.

If not any other suggestions?

ROAR rules say no disc wheels. They want to keep the trucks looking like trucks. No one will make them if the racers can't use them basically.

Not thinking about ROAR rules, I was thinking the same thing. Then I remembered: it's shortcourse. No matter how much we go away from them being scale, ROAR has at least protected one aspect to make them look realistic.

The revolver rims? Not really what I'm thinking, Im thinking completely flat. I don't care if it cone shape or completely flat on the same plane. I'll check out HPI and see.

Maybe I need to get a 3D printer and start prototypeing some!

Main reason I wanted dish wheels was because its going to be an advertising vehical for my wife's cupcake shop. And I was going to have vinyl cut into the shape of her cupcake logo and place them on the wheels, it's easier if they are flat!

Sc10 4x4, the body has ALOT of surface area to paint lg graphics and lg print makes it easier to see to spectators while driving around. Better than trying to just fit the logo and a few small words on my 22
