CharlieBravo Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 G'day guys. Just want to show off these superb aluminum wheels designed by Ben Wicker and machined by Jim Littiken. They're for my "BJ and the Bear" 1/25th build. Lugnuts are from rbmotion. Highly recommend these to anyone looking for that extra detail. The hubs are also Ben Wicker designed. Many thanks to Ben for all the help and ongoing tips he has been giving me regarding the wheels and truck modeling in general. I've never really built truck models so I've been doing extensive research on the matter. Here's the quick mock-up; Enjoy! Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truck parts Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Nice looking wheels ,How do we get a set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieBravo Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Contact Jim Littiken (hoosierminiatures@gmail.com) he makes them. I think they cost me 12 bucks a wheel. The lugnuts are another story, quite expensive(100 cost me $60 bucks) but they are nice. I had Ben polish my wheels up for me after Jim made them which maybe an option as well.

ewaskew Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I saw these when they first came out. They look real good and I had Jim make a set of rims for a 1/12 Camaro of mine. His work is well worth the price,my problem is no money. I will buy a set or two of these if I ever get back on track. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
