Does anyone cast the correct wheels for the Blue Beetle. I know they come in a couple of other kits, which are just as hard to find and high prtices.

Check with the Modelhaus

Get a re-issue of Monograms Lil'Coffin or Boothill Express, they are somewhat cheap(around $20)for the rear rims and the tires. You will need a Monogram Predicta or Monograms Orange Hauler for the front tires and wheels.(also somewhat inexpensive) These are not exact, but very close to the Blue Beetles.
The original Blue Beetle had 2 bar spinner knockoffs as well, alot of kits have those.

 I will take all you can find of the Lil Coffin and Boot Hill Express you can find for 20-25.00... The cheapest I have seen (and I have been trying to buy both of these kits) has been about 50.00... give or take 5.00

The Boot Hill Express has just been reissued.

The Parts Box has the rears in resin.

Ma's Resin has the rears with tires and brake backing plates.
