leafsprings Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Out in the West, the disc wheel was the most popular wheel configuration for various reasons. This thread is about the different styles of steel disc wheels. When you study them closely not all "Budds" are the same, there were several different styles and manufacturing companies that made them, even if they have the same amount of lugs.

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Thanks for posting these! I would like to get some of the 5 hole split rim front wheels like the Centruelights that you posted, but I don't think that anyone offers them.

These are the Truck Mate wheels for the Papa Truck and Hideout Truck transporters from Jamie at Mo'Luminum.

I've considered getting a set of those and trying to make the holes larger and drilling out the centers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did make them specifically for the Tyrone Malone transporters but they can be used on anything if you can get the wheel backs from any Aerodyne kits or from Jamie.
