or a set of thunderstars (either with the black texture insides or chrome)
so let me know what you guys think. i've been kind of digging the black rims with chrome spokes lately. also if anyone has any of these for sale let me know!

I don't know much about the quality of wheels you are looking at but I can help you with sizes. Your stock rear wheel is a 16 x 3.0". You can go up to a 18 x 4.25" on the back of a stock 03 train. Also you have 3/4" axles front and rear.

Personally, I would spend a few dollars more and call Hogpro for a set of wheels of known quality and warranty.
