TheRX7Project Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I've got a vision in my head for this GT350 kit I got without rims and tires... My problem is, where can I find some large-diameter Halibrand (or similar) style wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric N. Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I'v seen that wheel on e-bay . Resin,not plated. I can't remember the seller. But he has some very nice stuff- mainly wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my name is nobody Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 the tires and rims in 1/24 scale are in the Monogram Shelby Cobra 427 S/C kit. here they are on my GT350, and they went right on. no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 the tires and rims in 1/24 scale are in the Monogram Shelby Cobra 427 S/C kit. One thing to note. The Monogram Shelby wheels have six spokes, while the wheels James shows are five spokes. Some Jada 1/32 scale die-cast models (GT40 for one) include Shelby/Halibrand wheels, but the knock-offs are molded as one with the wheel and would take a lot of time and some very careful work to remove.

TheRX7Project Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Chuck, while those wheelse do look good, I am looking to go more modern "pro-touring" look, and those aren't quite big enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW Dave Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Steve Zimmermann from PA does some nice ones with turned aluminum rims and resin centers, in 18" and a 19/23" combo pack; I got a set of the 18's from him at this past weekend's NNL East. I don't have any pics, but I alerted him to this thread through Facebook. Edited April 24, 2013 by VW Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelo Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 You can also use the rims in the R/M Monte Carlo green lowrider kit, grind the lip that holds the tire on, and put Pegasus sleeves on them for the rears. I have made a couple sets but have not painted the centers as of yet. I want to. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakshow12 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Green 75 ish Monte Carlo snap kit has them. Just add the spinners. Dig around the truck section and find my 50 ford truck wip. It has them. I left the centers chrome and put Pegasus hoops on the rears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
