[PHOTOS] Painting the HPI WR8 Rally Wheels for Ken Block Gymkhana Five edition

love the tarmac wheels and tyres on the wr8.... so decided to keep them for display! 
got a set of rally wheels and tyres for bashing.... 

so sprayed them for bashing use... 

this is the yellow paint that i had left from the Traxxas Slash Ironman Ivan Steward paint work...

done! tyres glued.... messy newbie job.... too pampered by beadlock wheels.... 
but for bashing use.... it should be fine!

comparison between the 1.9 rally wheel and the 2.2 ken block tarmac wheel...
the tarmac wheels definitely looks better! that's why likely will be keeping it for display!
