Randy D Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Hi Folks, Here is the goal... This is our product that is loaded into the store now. It is 15 inch wheel that will fit most 1/25th scale tires. Shown here with an AMT Cobra tire and a Revell tire. Have left it fairly wide so it fits more tires and the width can be sanded or cut with a razor saw to fit your application. This is a one piece print take comes ready to paint. Set of four sells for $15.00 For those of you wanting a larger rim for 1/24th scale sports cars, a larger version will be available in April.

vamach1 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Oh oh oh. Just ordered two sets. Edited March 27, 2020 by vamach1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 That is beautiful! Much nicer than any other 3D printed wheels I have seen in the past. How does the back of the wheel look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Just wanted to clarify, not all Borrani wire wheels have the spokes lace through the outer rim like that, correct? They look really good, I'm impressed! Do they come with the proper hammer? ? What would it take to get Pirelli tires made, such as found in the Fujimi Daytona kit? So many aftermarket wheels available, but no decent tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Oh boy oh boy. Looks like it's time for me to order some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete J. Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Randy, those are the nicest three row Borranis I've ever seen! Great work! Oh and I've already ordered two sets for my pontoon fendered Testa Rossa! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunc Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 those look great, if they had two-ear'd knock-offs they would work for Triumphs and MGs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my66s55 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Beautifully done Randy. If I ever need a set, I will know where to find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBcritter Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Trying to think of a kit I have that these would be good for - would they be correct (or close) for Revell's Austin Healey 100-Six if I changed the knockoffs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hamilton Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I just got a set of them, and they're gorgeous! The service is great too. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill J Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Impressive Randy!! I have a definite need for some in 1/24 scale. I will keep an eye on the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I just went to order a set - SOLD OUT! I guess I snoozed. Hopefully there will be more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat32 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I ordered a set within minutes of seeing Randy's post. Wanted two sets just to help support the effort, but then realized the effort wouldn't be needed and now feel guilty for buying a set only to study and admire them.

Pete J. Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Got mine and they are even more amazing to hold in your hand. The wires are just so fine, I'm almost afraid to touch them! I am going to paint up a set and repost it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy D Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 Hi Folks, First off, a big thank you to the folks who purchased some wheel sets. I seem to have underestimated the intial demand:) Not to worry, we will print more! A special thanks to Ray, Bob and Pete for being vocal in your support . Two ear'ed knockoffs will be coming down the road. Hopefully by the weekend we will have more of the 15 inch wheels in stock and the first batch of the larger size to fit 1/24th scale sports cars. Peteski, posting a cut away of the wheel, positive offset with a 1/16th dia. hole to aid in mounting. Pictures are of the larger size, the wheel is shown fitted to HRM's Ferrari 250 GTO replacement tires... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill J Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 The wheels look awesome Randy. I want some for a Mercedes 300 SLR from 1955 era. Your wheels look spot on for that car. Keep up the excellent work and stay safe. everyone/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the drawing, if I interpret the drawing correctly, the entire hub is very thin (like the 1:1 hub would be)? And are the spokes hollow too?!

Randy D Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Hi Folks, Just a quick note to say the larger 1/24th Borrani wheels are up on the store site. Will continue to load more over the weekend. Thank you, Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelbuilder Mark Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 While there is no current project I have that are in need of these, I am so tempted to pick up a set "just in case", as they look fantastic. I would like to see the back of the wheel to see mounting options. Would you mind posting a picture of the back of the wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy D Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 I meant to that for Peteski earlier, the mounting hole is 1/16th. Here it is Mark.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
