Fogey Forged, wheels for the traditionalist

[Lownslow]

No frills pro touring like designs cant beat the price of 10$ for a tireless(18$ if with tires) set will fit any 17"-18" fujimi/aoshima/tamiya tire.

[Lownslow]

name is funny but the wheels are serious

[Ace-Garageguy]

VERY nice. 18" fits my personal old "fogey" idea as to how tall wheels need to be for function. The centers are clean, purposeful and look like a forging. Yup, very nice. When will they be available?  

[Lownslow]

2-3 weeks one of two designs

 

[Lownslow]

the tire part is a ways off but im thinking pro touring cuts and a big and little version of the tire

[Lownslow]

this is the thread for the tires ill be making

[Ace-Garageguy]

Love the tread pattern on the tires, and big / little versions of those, with your upper wheel design would be absolutely perfect for an updated '32 Ford roadster, set up with 4-wheel independent suspension, that I've been thinking about for a long time...but couldn't come up with the right rolling stock to get a look that moved me. Nothing earth-shatteringly new, but something that gives the initial impression of "that thing must handle like a slot car".

Both designs are great stuff - definitely in for a few sets of each, both same size and big n littles.  There are several projects that these are just the ticket.  Please keep us posted as to when you start taking orders.

[Lownslow]

Big and little set subtle 1" difference in size but offset is obvious

[GMCMAN52]

Nice , when will they be available and how can we order them,

[Lownslow]

2-3 weeks

[charlesdcamden]

Also in for a couple tire and wheel sets.... Matched of course. Keep us updated

[CFMgarage]

Definitely in for at least a set, maybe 2. Great price, great looks!!!

[68shortfleet]

Sign me up for a couple sets also.

[W-31]

Where do I send my money? Want both sets with tires.

[DrKerry]

Looking good

[Lownslow]

Tires wont be happening for a while on these i have temporary tires on my smoothie steelies but theyre import tires with a tapered sidewall.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Really like the smoothie steelies too. What's the actual diameter?

[Lownslow]

18" in 24 scale

Looking forward to these. A couple questions if I may; are the Fujimi/Aoshima/Tamiya tires sold separately by anyone or do you have buy a whole tire and wheel combo? Also, any idea if Revell's tuner tires might fit?

Tuner tires wont fit you can find most of the aoshima soft tires on ebay pretty cheap, the masters should be here today i should have resin sets by next week without tires ill dig in my tire stash and see if i find a decent substitute

Tires look good, wheels look good what not to love. 

[Lownslow]

came in today had to modify the faces to fit the rings again but it was easier with the homemade tool 

faces were smoothed after this, these arent the tires im including they wont have tires till at least summer. 

mustang has 19s, but the 18s dont look too bad on there

the 19" ring is nice as it could be and 1" bigger than 18" only available in deep offet but you can shim the faces forward with tape if you like

[charlesdcamden]

You hear a small voice whispering "18" Volk TE37s"..... Lol. 

[Lownslow]

prices dropped on these after sorting a molding problem
