bigbluesd Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 To all the police car modelers around here... any suggestions on where to find or how to scratch build these Crown Vic wheels? I gave it a shot using thumbtacks and a slice of Evergreen tube for the center circle but the thumbtacks were too small for the wheel and the Evergreen was "meh"... if I can't find them to buy somewhere I will have to start making the rounds in the office supply aisle of every store in town with a ruler in hand.

martinfan5 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 You can also get some here http://www.customsquads.com/products.html
av405 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Brandon, I know we were talking about your project earlier. I can definitely attest to the quality of the Modelhaus products as I have 3 sets of those from them and they are superior. I also have some Custom Squads products (though not the CV caps) and they too produce good quality items. Remember that Modelhaus is closing its doors in 2017 so get them while they're still made.
FordRodnKustom Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I used the Modelhaus set on this one. Highly recommended.
bigbluesd Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Ron, do you know what year you ordered? They have several from that period but no photos so I'm not sure which ones I need.... also it says it's for the Lindberg kit, I guess they fit the existing tires that came with the kit?

Rob Hall Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 They would listed under the year of the kit, 1997. I got a couple sets of these from the Modelhaus, this is their description on their site: 1997 Ford Police Wheels - for Lindberg Crown Victoria kit, black wheels with chrome hubs.

Yes, that's the set I used. Thanks Rob.
av405 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 It doesn't matter what year you order as they're all the same. That same style of hubcap was used by Ford on the 1990-1991 LTD Crown Victoria and the 1992-1997 Crown Victoria. They're designed specifically for the Lindberg kit.
