It seems silly that HPI would design wheels for mini-sized cars that don't fit their already pre-existing stock of mini tires. Especially when the tire (X-pattern) is one of their best sellers. How is this class going to grow if there isn't some sort of standardization for tire and rim sizes like it is in 1/10th TC.

This is the same mistake HPI made with Super Nitro because of the lack of tire choices due to its specific size which didn't match other super sized cars at the time. (Tamiya & Kyosho)

Either make the wheels the same as minis to fit everyone elses mini sized tire or make more tire options for the Cup Racer wheels. Right now there's only one.
