Difference In These Wheels - 03-10-2006, 10:44 PM

I was browsing on A-main and found the proline wabash wheels for 11.49 for two wheels and the advantage racing multi-spike wheels 4 for 11.99. Why are the Prolines more expensive?

the advantage are made from a softer plastic.

This is a set of four white multi-spoke 1/8th scale buggy rims from Advantage Racing Products and distributed by Racers Edge. This rims are made using a slightly softer plastic to dish rims, so they have a little flex in them. A little extra flex in the rims means that will withstand hard crashes much better than stiffer rims, and they will also handle better on bumpy tracks.
