Overview
The RPM N2O Gloss Black Resto Mod Sedan Wheels are purpose-built drift wheels designed to transform your RC sedan into a classic-looking muscle car machine. Named after the powerful chemical compound N2O (Nitrous Oxide), these wheels deliver the same kind of performance-enhancing appeal to your RC car collection. Whether you're piloting a vintage-inspired build like a 1970 Chevelle or 1972 C10 Pick-Up truck, or you prefer modern muscle like the Hellcat or Camaro, the N2O wheels add authentic resto-mod styling that will turn heads at any RC track or hobby gathering in the UK.
These gloss black wheels represent more than just aesthetic appeal—they are engineered specifically for the Kyosho Fazer Mk2 line of sedans and will fit many other sedans running 26mm wide wheels, making them a versatile upgrade for RC car enthusiasts across the country. RC car UK hobbyists looking to add that distinctive retro-modern flair to their collection will find these wheels deliver both style and substance. The combination of classic styling with modern RC engineering makes these wheels ideal for anyone serious about their RC sedan setup.
What sets the RPM N2O wheels apart from standard RC wheels is their meticulous attention to aesthetic detail combined with proven engineering. The gloss black finish provides a striking contrast that works beautifully on any colour sedan body, whilst the distinctive multi-spoke design echoes the classic muscle car wheels that inspired them. RPM has invested considerable effort into making sure these wheels look period-correct whilst maintaining all the performance characteristics demanded by serious RC enthusiasts.
Key Features
- Gloss Black Finish — The glossy black coating provides a premium appearance that catches light beautifully and delivers that authentic resto-mod aesthetic that vintage muscle car fans appreciate, making your RC sedan stand out from standard plastic wheel options.
- Engineered Grade Nylon Construction — RPM moulds these wheels from a bulletproof blend of engineering-grade nylons specifically chosen for long-lasting performance and durability, meaning they can withstand the rigours of regular RC drift and track use without cracking or wearing prematurely.
- Resto-Mod Design Philosophy — The wheel design authentically captures the look of classic muscle car wheels, allowing you to create period-correct RC builds of vehicles like the Chevelle, Charger, Camaro and Hellcat with genuine styling that respects the original aesthetic.
- Kyosho Fazer Mk2 Optimisation — Specifically engineered for the Kyosho Fazer Mk2 line of sedans, these wheels are tested and proven to work seamlessly with this popular platform, though they will also fit many other sedans running 26mm wide wheels with spacers where necessary.
- +4.7mm Wheel Offset — The standard offset for Kyosho Fazer Mk2 models is built into these wheels, ensuring perfect fitment and suspension geometry without the need for additional modifications or spacers on compatible platforms.
- Versatile Tyre Compatibility — RPM recommends 64mm diameter tyres for standard proportions on Kyosho models, whilst 67mm tyres can be fitted for a beefier, taller sidewall stance that gives your sedan a more aggressive appearance, though gearing changes may be necessary with the larger diameter.
- Drift Wheel Performance — These wheels are specifically designed as drift wheels, providing the handling characteristics and appearance that serious RC drift enthusiasts demand for competitive and recreational driving.
Technical Performance
The RPM N2O Gloss Black Resto Mod Sedan Wheels represent a significant step forward in RC wheel engineering and aesthetic design. Manufactured from engineering-grade nylon, these wheels combine rigidity with just the right amount of flexibility to absorb impacts during aggressive driving whilst maintaining their shape and performance characteristics over extended periods of use. The 26mm width is the industry standard for sedan applications, and the +4.7mm offset is specifically calibrated for the Kyosho Fazer Mk2 platform, which has become one of the most popular drift sedan platforms in the UK RC hobby market. The gloss black finish isn't merely decorative—it's a durable coating that resists fading and degradation from UV exposure and frequent handling. When paired with 64mm diameter tyres, these wheels deliver the correct proportions for authentic muscle car styling; upgrading to 67mm tyres shifts the aesthetic towards a more aggressive, stance-heavy appearance that appeals to builders looking for that enhanced, lowered look. The engineering behind these wheels ensures they maintain their integrity through tight drifting sessions, high-speed runs, and regular bashful driving, making them suitable for serious RC car UK enthusiasts who demand reliability alongside style. The bulletproof nylon blend has been proven through extensive testing to resist cracking, splitting and stress fractures that can occur with lower-quality plastic wheels, giving owners confidence that their investment will last through many seasons of RC driving.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the RPM N2O wheels fit my RC sedan? — The RPM N2O wheels are specifically designed for the Kyosho Fazer Mk2 line of sedans and will fit many other sedans running 26mm wide wheels. However, if your car uses hex nut style axles, you may need spacers to achieve proper fitment. We recommend checking your vehicle's specifications before ordering to confirm compatibility.
- What diameter tyres should I use with these wheels? — RPM recommends 64mm diameter tyres for Kyosho Fazer Mk2 models and other standard sedan builds, as this provides authentic proportions for classic muscle car styling. You can upgrade to 67mm tyres for a more aggressive, beefier stance with a taller sidewall, though you may need to adjust your vehicle's gearing accordingly.
- Are these wheels suitable for drift driving? — Yes, the RPM N2O wheels are specifically engineered as drift wheels and are designed to perform excellently during drift sessions. Their engineering-grade nylon construction provides the ideal balance of rigidity and flex for drift driving characteristics.
- Do these wheels come with tyres? — No, the wheels are sold separately from tyres. You will need to source appropriate 64mm or 67mm diameter tyres to fit these wheels, depending on your desired stance and performance profile.
- What is the wheel offset? — The RPM N2O wheels feature a +4.7mm offset, which is the standard offset for Kyosho Fazer Mk2 models, ensuring perfect fitment without additional modification on compatible platforms.
- Will I need spacers for these wheels? — For most vehicles designed around these wheels, spacers will not be necessary. However, if your RC car uses hex nut style axles, you may need spacers to achieve proper wheel fitment. Always check your vehicle's compatibility before purchasing.
- What makes these wheels look different from standard RC wheels? — The RPM N2O wheels feature an authentic resto-mod design philosophy inspired by classic muscle car wheel styling from the 1960s and 1970s.
