Outback TX-1 Wheels No longer..

[adventureduo]

I noticed that the Outback TX-1 wheels were getting insanely cheap (price) lately and i wanted to pick up some for our rig. Well, i got this email response from the US distributor in Prescott VTO performance.


Morning,
Thanks for contacting us.
I'm afraid that all the TX-1's have been bought by a company in France. The wheels shipped earlier this week.
The price was reduced because we are in the process of designing a replacement wheel.

Thanks

Terry

Hopefully the replacement wheel will be as cool as the original.

For those that are unaware of what the TX-1 looked like they were mounted on Scott Brady's EW Tacoma. Here's some pics.. http://www.outbacktx1.com/gallery/gallery.html

That's a real bummer.

I wonder if this has anything to do with it...

I've noticed that they started advertising the Staun wheels quite heavily of late here in Australia. I've also noticed them arround.

Another option, I've recently been looking at Braid Winrace T wheels for a "rally-raid" themed daily driver I'm building in my head.

They're pricey, but strong wheels.
