Ok being on the ISLANDS. we do offroading a little different. Here's the wheel thing we got going on. Kinda a steam roller effect.
Might not be appealing to some of our fellow offroaders on the continent. But it looks really sweet rolling up on a nice SANDY beach.
Ohh, yeah, we love our TOYOTAS.

What is needed to do this in SCALE.
Hosted on Fotki
aoshima tires/rims & pagasus ugly as #!*% rims.

POP out centers of PEGASUS rims

slightly sand back of pegasus rim and trim inside off broken out center. Then slightly sand aoshima rims

check for fit

Use a strip of tape (duct/masking/scotch). To attach both.
Hosted on Fotki
Now you need to sand. outer part of rim. With out damaging lip of wheels. This is to glue the lip to hold the tire out.
Hosted on Fotki
This strip is for that part of the wheel. Kind like a inner beadlock.
Hosted on Fotki
Now slowly work and glue that strip around the rim. Be sure to leave about an 1/8-1/4 of an inch fro the lip of the rim. For tire thickness.

Here's what it should. Look like when one side is done. You will need to mimmic this for the other side also.

Now all. that is left is to work it into the TIRE.*NOTE* these wheels are soft. The older style SO-REAL wheels are HARD. But they make softer compound ones, NOW.
Hosted on Fotki
A small jewelers screwdriver may be need to finish it.

DONE
