1/16 big rig wheels and tires

[crashtastic]

Where is the best place to find 1/16 scale big rig wheels and tires? I'm going to be scratch building a 1/16 trailer for a truck I'm going to build and i need wheels and tires for the trailer. Any help would be appreciated.

As far as I know, no one.  When the 1/16th scale kits were first issued back in the early 1980s, an Australian parts supplier offered several 1/16th scale resin items.  Spoke Trilex wheels were just  one.  Sadly, they haven't been re-issued since the early 1990s.

Didn't Monkey Claw Models (or Resins) switch over to 1/16 scale?

Auselowe has a set of spoke wheels listed and I have seen some turned aluminum ones someplace maybe moluminum or GW trucks if I find them I'll post where.
