Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)According to ProLine's website, these wheels are designed to be used only with the Switch 2.2 M2 Front or Rear Tires(2): TRA Slash. Basically, if you want to use different tires on this rim, it's not guaranteed to work. I have seen some forum posts where people have indicated they've used other tires successfully with these wheels though.
Also, be aware that this set is designed for the front. There is a separate set designed for the rear, the product description has a discreet R (for the Rear set) and FR (for the Front set) in the product listing on Amazon.
The Rear set can be found here:

Altogether, these will end up costing about twice as much as some glued tire/wheel sets. However, these are re-usable, and so may be useful far longer then the glued sets. Slash's come stock with 2.2/3.0" wheels, and these ones are straight 2.2". So, some tires designed for the Slash that stick to the 2.2/3.0" design won't work at all on these wheels. All of the tires currently listed on ProLine's website support 2.2/3.0 sized wheels.
Finally, ProLine indicates that, "Increasing the speed of your Slash can reduce the Bead-Loc capability of your Epic wheels." Basically, the faster you spin the wheels, the more likely it is that the tire will separate from the wheel. I've run the wheel/tires on my Slash using a 7.4v LiPo with the Velineon VXL brushless upgrade without issue so far, and have run it for around 3 hours.
Overall, I'd say the combo is pretty good, it's definitely better then the stock set my Slash came with. The Switch tires perform noticeably better, and these wheels have a darker look. I would of liked the ones with the red locking ring on it though, to give it some contrast on the wheels, but the all black isn't terrible.
