Hey I was thinking of buying a vintage Desert Fox because it reminds me of the AWE Striker and it can carry 4-5 joes. However the all black wheels seem like Hasbro cut a corner to save bucks. Does anybody know of wheels with rims or more flair that would fit the Desert Fox? Feedback is appreciated.

Have you thought about using wheels meant for RC cars? There are some great ones out there if you do some searches. Good luck!

Ah funny I'm also thinking of doing the same to my Desert Fox. I saw a cool custom on the net where they used the AWE Striker wheels and some bumper from a random toy. I ordered six AWE striker wheels only to find out that they are solid plastic. Two sections, tire and rim but both solid. I was thinking it was rubber. It's a paint to take them apart, so needless to say I'm discarding that option. If you want them I can send them to you as I do not have a use for them.
I have 4 buggy wheels that I bought a while back to use on a project that I cancelled. I may try to use those, the problem now is finding another 2. They are from Losi RC parts. They are meant for a 1/6 or so buggy. I just have to see if they fit ok. I don't want to make new axles or so. Yesterday I went trough yojoe and checked all the vehicles. Sadly all use the same concept of the AWE Striker, solid tires which glue together around the rim. Only one Cobra vehicle the Stun from 1986 uses the rubber tires but the rims are solid, no details at all.
