I accualy have a couple sets. Just to clerafy, the newer rims ('09).I wanted a rim with holes in them and like the Mugens. I also have a set of Kyosho's too. But you should use the AKA foams and take you time gluing them. Get some good bands for doing so. they are a little "loose" but as far as being too big, I personally dont think they were that bad.

I have a set of Cross Braces mounted to Panther rims (not oversize/new diameter) with proline molded foam, they fit and fill well. The larger rims make a lower sidewall height but the ungroomed tracks I usually race on like a tire with a little bit more sidewall height. The AKA foams are much too hard for anything but blue groove and indoor/smooth tracks in my opinion.

if i were you i wouldnt mix foams and rims. aka foams rims tyres is the best combination im not saying they dont fit im sure some do but for the best consistantsy stick with aka foams tires and rims

thanks guys for the answers,
i'll tell why i wanna mix tires and wheels, instead of paying almost 70 bucks for a set of tires, if i get 4 unmounted tires for 39 bucks, Amain have a great deal on mugen wheels, 4 wheels for 9 dollars, a set is 48 bucks complete. 20 bucks cheaper than the premounted ones, i need 10 sets, 5 for the remaining races in Kuwait and 5 for the Neo race in the UK (if i make it) thats 200 bucks worth of savings
is it worth it ??
cheers

For Neo (indoor) use the supersofts .Cityblocks or Gridiron. Just buy premount, much easier. If you worried about the price.... you'r going to Neo, that will cost you more than those 200 bucks have fun there!

man i'm still not sure if i'm gonna race my MP9 or my 8ight 2.0 over there.
i'm running the Losi for this season and my MP9 is sitting on its shelve with its awards and trophies
trying to find someone to sponser our team for the trip, if i do find one, ill get the premounted
thanks for the info about the tires for the Neo track, i was hesitating between the cityblocks and the calibers.
cheers
