  zz hub caps are designed to be used with zz wheels. and bcg’s are designed to drive on tabletops. see where i’m going with this? i’ve never tried it but with a little grinding and glueing i’ll bet it can be done. and when someone says “don’t bother it’s too hard” then prove em wrong!:8ball:

  I’ve done it. It works well. I took the front rims off the ZZ knuckles and put them on the bcg knuckles. The back rims come off easily. The only problem was that the front wheels are a little bigger than the regular bcg wheels, so you’ll have to file/dremmel out some room on the front wheel wells on a bit. They are also a little heavier, so you might want to put an extra return spring on the steering. Maybe not though. Try it first, then decide if you want the extra return spring.
