The wheels are similar to those on the Kyosho ZX-5 and use a Hex pattern on all four corners. The BX-1 therefore has an array of available compatible wheels, ready and waiting from the likes of Kyosho, Academy, Tamiya and others.
Two tiny air holes are provided in each wheel, this lets air escape from the tyre when the tyre deforms on rough terrain. The holes are too small to be very effective however and probably do little to help the cars bouncy nature over rough ground. A bigger hole would help the tyre deform to the surface and absorb hits with more composure.

The included tyres are like those supplied in Academy kits among others, and are labled “Grand Prix – Fusion”. The tyres are a micro-block style tread pattern and are quite soft. Foam-strip inserts are supplied and pre-installed.
The only thing left to do is to glue the tyres to the rims. No glue is provided but any CA (super glue) will do. A thin bead around the edge of the rim on both sides, should be enough to keep the tyres in place with the supplied motor. I ran the car box-standard before gluing the tyres and one rear tyre came partially off the rim, so this is a step best not forgotten.
