Lesson learned with my wallet, AGAIN.

I'm going to convert the body to a VTA style, and wheels/tires. I know the VTA bodies are generally 200mm, so once I again I'm worried about buying the wrong stuff. Sorry to ask for another favor, but does anyone know the actual part numbers for a set of HPI wheels and tires that would work offset wise, and be legal for VTA class?

I know they come in different finishes and such, but if someone could provide an example I'm sure I can use it to sort out the choices. I don't want to blow another $40 bucks on the wrong thing.

Thanks again everyone!
If you decide they're not the right fit for your car Tamiya Super Driftech tires are worth trying but any made with ABS are going to be pretty good. If you're running brushless & want something different rubber slicks are a lot of fun. They just don't last as long.
