It would seem that gary has old stock, I just checked with JACO and the wheel/tire combo on the Grey & Yellow Warlock wheel has been discontinued a few years ago. Like I said in a earlier post, those wheels offer a +2 offset for at the time the current cars, IE being the HPI(RS4), Tamiya, OLD OLD Yokomo, Express and others. around the same time that the TC3 came out, JACO re did its whole line to fit the new "wider" cars that needed a 0 offset wheel.

Jack ( owner of JACO) goes on to say, that the current wheel ( Velocity & axis) is made by Proline at this time, He has heard of the slight rubbing problem and is looking into a fix or a possible new wheel. What does work is to take a sharp exacto knife to the inside edge of the wheel, if you hold the blade at about a 45 degree angle you can scrape around the wheel and it will give enough clearance and stop the rubbing.

I will keep you posted.
