Dr. Cranky Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Jim, can you do something futuristic? I am working on a new WW3 vehicle, a 2010 Challenger, and I would love to have a set of wheels and beefy tires for the beast. You do amazing work. I think we should talk.

MicroNitro Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 Can these wheels be polished to ressemble a set if 1:1 Welds? How smooth is te machining? Frank I would chuck them in a cordless drill and sand the machine marks out with some fine paper, then use some polishing compound on then when there spinning. They have a pretty nice shine already.

Dom87SS Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 those are pretty cool, i remember coming across your site a while ago when looking for detail stuff on the web. Are there any plans to do any of the newer style WELD wheels they came out with or mickey Thompson styled wheels? Just out of curiosity, what kind of 3D printer do you have?

665@213 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Nice wheels sir! I was wandering if you'd be interested in doing a one off set of wheels for a 1:18th scale diecast? Ive got a set of measurements & no one really makes any good wheels for those cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camarobuilder Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Hey, i had to post my comment here. I got my Micro Nitro draglites a few weeks ago. Shipping was fast, and the only thing I can say about them is...WOW! These wheels are a true work of art. I'd highly suggest these to everyone.
