You can buy the file and there are a few folks on the forum that will print it, according to posts I've seen. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/borbet-wheel-for-diecast-and-rc-model-1-43-1-24-1-18-1-64
Can-Con Posted September 20, 2023 Posted September 20, 2023 The AMT '55 and '57 Chevy pickup street machine kits have some very similar wheels, Greg. I can check to see if I have some if you like.
ncbuckeye67 Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 I was also going to suggest the 55 Stepside kit. I made mine into a 4x4, so I have the wheels & tires somewhere.
camaro69 Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 I did these long time ago. They are available at shapeways. Here´s the link. https://www.shapeways.com/product/4CDW3GKTN/1-24-rim-set-18-quot-oz-fittipaldi?optionId=301298004&li=shops Rico
Texas_3D_Customs Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 Man shapeways has lost their mind $12 for shipping by the time you buy a set of those wheels You're at $30 I am shocked to be honest 1
iamsuperdan Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 lolz. Let's not revive the whole Shapeways discussion from a few months back. Man, that got heated. Yes, Shapeways can be expensive. but they sometimes have things others don't. And let's leave it at that! 2

I was shocked too even already after the first increase. I´m still thinking about your offer. Looks like it becomes more and more a good and less expensive alternative for other modelers.

lordairgtar Posted September 25, 2023 Author Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) Thanks everyone for looking. Seems the closest is to get them from a 55 step side. What I had on my old wagon were a lot different than the Fittipaldis shown from the 3D files. My old Mangels were a copy of a Coddington wheel but looked a bit better IMO. These are Boyd's wheels which I think is the wheel in the 55 Stepside kit. Edited September 25, 2023 by lordairgtar

Can-Con Posted September 26, 2023 Posted September 26, 2023 Just checked Gregg, sorry, all I could find was one good one, one with the spokes painted and one with the lip of the rim sanded off. The AMT wheels do look more like the ones in your first pic then the Boyds in the large pic. Another kit with similar wheels is the Monogram '55 Ford pickup. A bit larger diameter though.

Thanks, Can-Con. What was real interesting was the Mangel wheels looked better IMO, cost less, plus the center caps interchanged with the Boyds. Those wheels looked really nice on my 83 Mercury Marquis Brougham wagon (current project, 3D printed body. The 55 Chevy Pick ups are easy to find and the wheels were the same in several iterations of that kit. 1
1930fordpickup Posted September 27, 2023 Posted September 27, 2023 Did you locate some wheels yet? I can look here if you didn't find any.
