Wide whites, red wheels

[dragstk]

Hi all;

I'm looking for a set of wheels like in the picture, but in an 18-20" size. I know the wheels in the new Revell 29 kit are good, but I'm looking for bigger wheels.

Anybody know of a kit or an after market company that would have something like this?

 

Thanks

The old BlackForce snapper has some beauties. Not exactly, but close to what you want (but you'll have to paint the whitewalls).

Thanks Bill; I never thought about a snap model, but this is a good idea. I'll check it out.

Thanks again

That's a pretty cool looking car.

Kind of art deco looking

Might try Steve Zimmerman as well... I think he has some similar wheels... but he has sooo many its hard to say!

Hey Jesse;

Thanks

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it ) I am not on FB

Would the wheels/WWW tires in the Monogram '41 Continental work? They're 1/24 scale so they look even larger on a 1/25 model.

Or you could sleeve your own like so:

Thanks for the idea on using a 1/24 scale wheel. The thought had crossed my mind, but I hadnt found any kits yet.  Good idea.

Jeff, first- very cool model! "Sleeved" your wheels? Care to explain how you did it or point to a thread that covers it?

 

Thanks guys

Jeff, here's the best way to describe the aluminum sleeve process, courtesy of spencer1984 (a member here):

Just find a kit steelie and center cap that suits your needs, and sand 'em down to fit inside the aluminum sleeves (that's what I did on my '32 Chevy above...)

Very cool, Jeff. Thanks! Im going to have to try this

A friend of mine showed me some of Steve Zimmerman's wheels, Definitely some nice wheels and he has some that I'm looking for. 

So, I sighed up to Facebook and wrote to Steve about his wheels. That was a week ago, and no reply.

Anybody have experience with Steve? Is he ok? Still in business? To busy?

Any help here would be appreciated.

Thanks

Steve is a Forum member......  Try sending him a PM to Steven Zimmerman.

Thanks Rich. Actually Steve saw the thread and contacted me.

Thanks, O-Man. I didnt think of going that way, but I have tires already. Cool. And I have some stuff from Forward-Resins already and it is nice.
