Gold nugget wheels?

[Ben]

Do these wheels exist in 1/25. All chrome or no chrome is fine.

[NYLIBUD]

Try maybe Hoppin Hydros,or perhaps Pegasus wheels and tires.I remember having those wheels on a car I owned about 25 years ago.

[crazyjim]

Pegasus has a wheel that's similar. I usually buy Pegasus from Hobbylinc although sometimes Scale Hobbyist has better pricing.

[Can-Con]

Closest ones I can think of are in the Monogram '64 GTO and '80s Monte Carlo SS, but those are 1/24 and supposed to represent the aluminum ones, not the stamped steel ones like in your pic.

I think the ones that were in the MPC '69 Barracuda might be still in there but for some reason, those are 6 lug. 

[stitchdup]

would there be something suitable in some of the 80s rod kits?

I thought the below were  originally from the above kit but now I don't think so. The below have twelve holes, while the above appear to be ten hole? Where is Chuck when you Most need him...

I’ll check out the Pegasus version. I think I’ve seen them before buts been a long time. I want to build a replica of my first pickup that had these wheels.

[Ben]

These would work great if they weren’t 23” in 1/24. I need 15” in 1/25.

Yeah, Pagasus “Magnums” are big. They are kind of soft in detail too - I had to add my own lugs. They are so-so...

I know this topic is 6+ years old, but for anyone interested I've modeled and 3d printed 1/24 scale 15x7 and 15x10 Gold Nugget wheels with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires that I have for sale on my website (meanmachinemodels.com)

Those T/As look nice!

[peteski]

Welcome to the forum Alex!

The tires and wheels look superb!   But one thing that jumped at me was the tire tread pattern.  But before I called it out I figured that I should check it out, and you got the pattern just right for the contemporary Radial T/As.  The reason it didn't look right to me was because the tires I had on my car had a different tread pattern, but that was over 30 years ago.

So here is a modern wheel's tread pattern (just like you modeled).

Here are the tires from my car. Notice the pattern is quite different.

 

Any chance you could also design and sell the tires with the older tread pattern?  Many of us model older cars with those wheels and tires.

Yes! I would love to see some 80s vintage T/As. 
I know it's a stretch, but boy-howdy would I love a set of 235/50 13 in 80s vintage. 
 

I also think 70s vintage T/As would be great for period muscle car builds. This is a very different tread again, and different side wall lettering. I have never seen these in scale anywhere but would be great for many 70s projects.

Well, his pattern is what I had on my 76 TA I had back in the 80's. This whole post is surreal because I'm planning a a tribute to my 76 with the very tire/wheel combo he's offering.

I bought those tires for my Camaro in the mid-80s. Maybe they were old stock tires? The lettering is the same. In any case, it would be a bonus if different tread patterns were available. Not something most people notice, but it would be nice to have options available.  this whole 3-D CAD design and printing thing makes it easier to have many options available.

Thank you! I actually had no idea these were the old tread patterns. Must've been before my time. I'll add it to my never-ending list of wheels/tires to model

I see on your site you sell them as a staggered set. Any way to get four of the 15x7? I need it for a 1:1 tribute that had that setup, I also don't think the 10" will fit. Thanks.

No problem. I also made a 15x8 that I haven't listed yet. Let me know if you'd like 15x7's all around or 15x7 and 15x8 staggered.

These (or something similar) were in the Revell Hot Rod series edition of the Lil' John Butera Model T and '34 Roadster.
