delta99 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 They are no good. Does anyone have a cheat to make them not crooked? I read somewhere a while back to stuff them with cotton balls. I've tried that, and that just makes it so the tire bead won't sit on the rim. Are there any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plastic trucker Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I used a piece of nylon rope that was the same size as the inside opening once. It straightened it out a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodwrench3 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I swapped them out (wheels too) with the Mobius "Big Rig" wheel and tire set. Much nicer ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 The wheels and tires in those Revell Kenworth and Pete kits are horrible!! As said above, swap them with a Moebius wheel and tire set. They’re more accurate, great quality and look so much better! Theres many other options out there as well, two holes, five holes, spoke wheels etc. a good place to find them is moluminum.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta99 Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Thanks for the input. I got the moebius shoes for it. I'll hold on to the snap ones, and may try to work with them in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I don't like the snap wheels at all including the tires, the fronts looks weird and the rear wheels are too shallow to look right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37 caddy Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 i used the rear wheels of the tyrone malone hauler on one,they look pretty good,the kit tires are hideous,i even used the front tires on the kit rims,looks good too. harvey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsldriver Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I've found that a person can use the kit wheels with tires from Moluminum.com. Just have to trim off the ridge in the center of the wheel. I toss the kit tires in the trash, and that's saying something, as I rarely throw ANYTHING away.

plastic trucker Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Why throw them away? They would be great for junk yard dioramas, or push bumpers of wreckers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
