oldcarfan Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 I've been noticing the trend in 1:1 cars and trucks to have traditional wheels, steelies with dog dish hubcaps, Magnum 500s, even Minilites and such in 18, 20 inch and other sizes. Does anyone make such a thing in 1/25th scale? I've been wanting to add some to kits, but haven't seen anything like that.
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 I've had some luck with wheels made for larger scales, running rubber-band tires made for 1/25. WARNING: May require math.

Can-Con Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 The Revell Foose '67 Dodge Coronet R/T has a big set of Magnum 500s in it ,, too big maybe. They seem to scale out to 24 or 26 inches, too big for me. I bought the kit just for the wheels then traded them off when I found how big they are.The old AMT "Black Force" snap kit has a big set of steelies with baby moon caps if you can find one that hasn't been pirated of the wheels.
misterNNL Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Model Martin has resin flat disc wheels with dog dish hub caps wearing 33's !! I just used a set of these on the back of a '25 Model T Ford speedster.
