If you do it that way you wont get the slick width, and it would just look gauty with tread, but if that's all you can get your mitts on, power to ya.

well i was going to put electrical tape cleanly around it.

whats so funny i dont go waste my money

[TheBenzon]

why waste it when you can just experiment and create new stuff.

exactly, electrical tape is great for slicks, last year in industrial tech, we had to make wooden drag cars, put them on string with space for a small CO2 cartridge, and we were the only group to use electrical tape on the wheels (just plastic). We won every single race (but not all because the tape

Well, that will eliminate the tread problem, but still the width has to be addressed, if you use suv wheels your slicks will be about 1/3 the width of slicks, so if you can find a way around that, then you'll be sittin pretty. Kudos.

then it will still be 2/3 the width... j/k

that would probably work, but I think that the slicks would look too animated.. you know? too shiny without any realistics

we will see how it goes
