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?

We are doing the latest Weld Racing Pro wheel for a customer now and will put it on the web site as soon as we are sure everything is correct.

I do have programs for the Pro Stars and Draglites in 1/16. They are the same price as the 1/16 Ansons. Thanks

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.

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.

I hope you don't mind but I have a bit of a technical question. I am very much an amateur machinist and I have been futzing around with my Sherline lathe on some wheels for a WRC car. I noticed that on several of the sets you have a very clean dished out rim(concave transition between the vertical and horizontal piece). Did you cut a special tool to do that? I can's see any way to do that manually with a boring bar. Thanks.

With the CNC lath I can make a curve by giving direction of rotation, x and z start, and x and z end point and the radius to use to make an inside curve. Before CNC I had ground the radius on cutting tools but the finish will need some sanding to look good. What wheels are you making?

Can you make wheels for street cars as well?

Jim your wheels look amazing, awesome machine work your doing and I will deff. be placing some orders with you soon. I have a 1/16th scale Fuel Altered that I will be needing a current set of wheels for. I do have a question for you though what type of Lathe and Mill do you use in producing these?

Wow! Those wheels are fantastic!!

[808 Nitro]

Looks like good as gold!

[MicroNitro]

Thanks again for all the nice words about the wheels.

As for the machines we use a lath and mill started life as Sherlines we have modified them heavily and converted them to CNC. My son builds all the drivers, computers and software. The CNC router was all built by My son and I as will as the rapid prototype machine. I get must of the hard parts to make the machines from MSC and my son gets a lot of the electrical stuff from Mouser. we also have a lot of non CNC tools in the shop. Sorry for the long answer to the question. Thanks

I put your site on my favorites in the computer, will have to order some wheels in the future.

[Mooneyzs]

Love the Wheels, I am getting ready to order a set of your 1/16 scale funny car rims later today. I am curious as to what the Welds in 1/16 scale will look like. Can't wait to see them.

[Magic Photos]

Jim I got my wheels and WOW they are great. I got the 1/16th scale 10 spoke dragster wheels everyone Jim did a killer job on these. So give him your custom orders and I am sure he can do them. Thanks Jim for the great service quality product.

You've got some fantasic looking wheels on there. I'm very interested in the Indy 500 & CART models that your working on. When do you think that that part of the site will be up and running.
