There is a lot of great info and photos in this thread. Has anyone put together a reference showing actual wheels and the scale wheels/source? I look at Halibrand wheel images/info and think that I sort-of understand then I see more posts (on many websites) and get confused again.

I have several 1/25 Halibrand wheel castings by Ed Fluck III of Drag City Castings. The quality is excellent.

If you scroll through the thread from the beginning you will see many photos of 1:1 wheels along with an example of the scale replica.

Yes. I was hoping that someone had compiled the information into an easier-to-use reference. This link to Halibrand wheel catalogs and sales sheets might also be useful: https://vintagewheelcatalogs.com/halibrand/ for identifying the 1:1 wheels. Some of the items posted there are just the covers but the site owner says on the home page (of numerous brands of wheel catalogs) that he will scan individual pages upon request.
