The new wheels have a new part number. It's in the manual.
The new plastic isn't any stronger. There's just a bit more of it.

I doubt that considering that the 2020 version already had the same wheels...
EDIT:
My car was part N: ARA7604V2T2 purchased back in May...

We need to get to the bottom of this!
This seems to be the most logical explanation.. The red RTR does sell probably more than the EXB or the "green", therefore making it a business decision above the colour... Eventually, all rims will be the same again...

This is how my Mojave wheel hexes look after a year (~30 packs), despite using the M2C hexes since it's very first run. They all have a warp on them but this one is the worst
No doubt that the M2C hexes did help, and they obviously still run, but this is still evidence enough to show the original molding for the Mojave wheels just wasn't good enough. I've even rotated them F/R and L/R, twice, for longevity
I've just fitted some FTX DR8 wheels that have a much beefier hex on them. If I ever have to order more gun metal Fortress wheels, hopefully they'll come with the newer molding

They came on first EXB. Not my second a year later.
You get what you get I guess.
By now they should only be the new molding.
Either way, the new molding can't handle 8s.

^^^ wow that's messed up.
My guess is that these wheels may be coming from 2 different factories. On making retail retail replacements( new style), the other for production kits??
How could both be still in production, otherwise? The new wheel mold is clearly better and revised for a reason.
