New DUB City Rims

I just wanted you all to know... I went to TRU today and found new DUB City diecasts with new rims.

CTS: ($2.99)
These nice 5-spoke rims are slightly smaller than Bit fronts. I've seen the same style rims on trucks. Those truck rims are more the size of Bit rears.

MR2 kit: ($4.99)
This kit comes with 2 sets of rims, 5-spoke w/disc brakes and 7-spoke w/disc brakes. They're about the size of Bit rears.

I think the wheels are labled wrong! Check it out. The Formula-7's are the 5-spoke. Makes more sense that the 7-spokes should be called "Formula-7".

Also good that you can now get 2 sets of wheels for $2.99 in stead of 1!!
I salvage the wheels & interior and trash the rest. Would be nice if they had usable exhausts ala Import Tuners!
Thanx for the Heads Up Drive! I'll check em' tomorrow......

Edit: My badd, your post never finish downloading before I replied.
$4.99 aint bad either. Did you mean to say the CTS wheels are slightly smaller than the Bit fronts or rears cause they look awful big in the Pic ?

They also have larger diameter ones too and a new design. These are the size of the Import Tuner wheels.

CTS: Slightly smaller than Bit fronts. Sorry for the confusion.

Looks like Ahh5hit beat me to it... Nice Camaro, man!
Like he says, they come in a bigger version too. I've seen those on trucks (Yukon, Ford F-150, etc.)

I actually picked mine up at Wal Mart this morning on the way to work. They had the trucks and CTS's, etc. Different cars have different styles and sizes. I picked up one of each different style/size. They mount exactly the same as the Import Tuner versions, just without the disc brakes. The larger wheels are about the same size as the Import Tuners.

The Camaro is from the Past & Present Body Kit.

Go to your local target and pick up some "modifiers". There 1/43rd scale import models and the deluxe sets ($12) come with 4 sets of rims and tires. There about the size of bit rears.
