they are a little over 5/8" thick where the axle goes through the wheel, they have a (im guessing here)23mm hex like the 5b the manufacturer is sending out the adaptors as well. they are not made of cheap plastic but nylon so i will be dyeing them. they have a good deal of structural ribs on the backside. and they are coming from a very well known wheel/tire/body company, so they should be made pretty well. i will post the pics of the tires as soon as they arrive. i know that they will be made in several different finishes as well. i cant wait to get some color to them , mount the tires and then we shall see what kind of beating they can take!
these have given me a new direction for the truck as well i will be getting an mcd monster body, and i may even pull my motor out and install a 2mm stuffed crank to help turn those bad boys.

one way would be to invest(and that is a big INVEST) in an mcd evo 2 suspension set. you would have to get upper and lower arms, tie rods, and bones, possibly a few items im forgeting. i have and still am considering this due to the added stability, not to mention they look cool!
i managed to move the blocks the wheel mounts on out about a 1/4" on each axle by using a bearing as a spacer and grinding new flat spots into my axles. so far i havent had any troubles ( i had to do this mod to get my mcd wheels to mount due to their deep offset).
i dont know if you can use baja wheel extenders or not. i will check with my buddy at innovative and see if he has any clues. those wheels i posted pics on this forum are a liitle bigger in diameter and width than anything else out right now but they are still about a month away from going into production.
