Not quite so fast! haha We are still awaiting on white jaco 1/12 rims to arrive. Once the rims are in house, it will be only a couple of weeks before they are into the distribution channels

Frank,
If we made Jaco tires under the BSR name it wouldn't be any different than packaging. But maintaining the Jaco line we didn't have to create new part numbers, products or create confusion on what is what. This way we just pick the ball up from where Jaco left it and make tires with our methods and practices on Jaco rims.
