They look nice to me, too. The big issues I look for in wheel castings are air bubbles on the lug nuts (usually obliterating the nut) and around the rim - those are the hardest places for me to cast and/or repair. Are these done in a two piece mold or are the holes solid?

I however, can answer that. Yes they are done in a two piece mold. To me that's the only way to do them. Should a casting not come out full, it is ground into powder and used as a filler for other castings. This not only saves on wasted resin but keeps down cost. I also tend to give five castings. I mean hey...most cars have a spare right?

As one of the newer casters on the scene, I can tell you this- if there is a void or surface bubble in one of my castings...it will not ship.

Hi John, yes the Dodge and Plymouth police wheels were the same. I am currently working on making them in 1/25th and 1/16th. Alot of the time folks will refer to 1/25th-1/24th as bi-scale because at times parts will interchange one scale to another. It was my hope that these wheels would bridge that gap, and for some folks they just may.Jacen ; Perfect wheels and caps . Looks like injected . You do nice work . Wham you make these in 1/25
scale , I am in for some . at least two or three sets . If the Dodge is the same (?) make it 5 or 6 sets . Thanx ..
