I just had to share.

This is one of those things that I just had to share.

I had been thinking of ordering a set of aluminum rims for my Raco Indy from BRP (http://www.bishopracingproducts.com). There wasn’t much information on the web site and the pictures were less than impressive. They looked to be a one piece rim but they were aluminum and less than $400.00 for all four shipped to my home. So, after numerous trips to the web site I decided to order a set as, after all, I could always send them back.

I’m here to tell you these are not going back!

When I opened the box and found the rims I could not believe my eyes…… In a time when you get less than you expect, here was more than I expected. The rims are a two piece rim with the Allen screws nicely hidden in the back. The fronts are nicely polished. I still look at them and go ‘WOW…I am impressed!’

I used a set of 3" in the front and a set of 4" in the rear. I also used some spacers behind the rims so the rear tires didn't rub the body. Todd also provided the spacers. The rims on the Kraco car look like a 6 slot rim. Mine are a 5 slot but I'm sure that you could get them with 6 slots. I want to find out what patterns Todd can make. I was thinking of lighting bolts or two rows of apposed thin slots. How about wedges like the old Inkei wheels. It looks like I’m going to need a couple more sets of these rims and cars to put them on. Wow ! Why didn’t I think of that one before? Honey, I’m going to need a car that fits my rims. It sounds so reasonable to me but I don’t think it will resonate the same in the female brain.

Please let me know what rims you guys get and what you think of them.

Great looking rims,

I bought the same set for my Raco Indy car a couple month's ago too, it was well worth it....

I have to agree with cryo-tek wholeheartedly. I recently purchased a brand new, never run set of Bishop wheels from a friend here in Australia. He was extremely happy with them.....he just has some other options with wheels that will be announced soon in Australia. I had not seen them in person, however the emailed photos looked all right to me. When they arrived I was amazed....they are just so good.They are being boxed up at present to go back to Todd to get some rubber fitted professionally.
Here they are.......and....‘WOW…I am impressed!’

Just ordered a set of each today. Cant wait to get them. Been eyeballing them for some time now and figured i should pull the trigger.

Mike,
Just received my BRP wheels back from Todd. Here's the finished set. He does a superb product. They'll end up on one of my sprintcars.

They do look great! Can't wait to get them, not sure what they are going on yet though. I figure I could find something.

They look great.
