crowe-t Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Does anyone make accurate Rader(Radir) wheels for the Polar Lights 1966 Batmobile? The wheels on the real car were more of a deep dish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutaFocus Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) The original issue, and maybe the reissues of the 64 Thunderbolt has a nice set of Radirs. I’m nit sure what you would need to do for the bat center caps, but they are flat so they should be easy to come up with. ***Edit*** I just checked out one of my Tbolt kits and if you are looking for deep dish, you may need two sets of the rears.

Can you post a picture of the Thunderbolt's Radir wheels? Which company makes the 64 Thunderbolt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked at it and the rears don't look any deeper than the ones that come in the Batmobile kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AMT Fireball 500 kit, which was reissued not all that long ago has a smaller diameter set which I think might be a better match. You can get a decent look at them in hpiguy's video here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones from the Fireball 500 aren't perfect, but probably as good as it gets for readily available kit parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
