1959scudetto Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 (edited) Ferrari 250 GTO wheels from Jack Modeling: Jason created these with input from Pierre Rivard, Peteski and myself - these are meant to replace the wheels of the Italeri/Revell, Fujimi, Protar/Revell and Gunze Sangyo/Airfix kits. If he gets enough response , he will offer them for sale to the public. I bought 3 sets from him – each wheel consists of 3 parts: Borrani spoke rim, Dunlop racing tire with period-correct tread and sidewall lettering and the central hub/spinner. Below, you can see the sets spraypainted (directly onto the grey resin without any preparation) LEFT: Borranis : Duplicolor rim silver Dunlop tires : Duplicolor rallye black (semi-gloss) Spinners : Revell Chrome CENTER: Borranis : Revell Chrome Dunlop tires : Tamiya rubber black Spinners : Revell Chrome RIGHT: Borranis : Revell Chrome – with 2 shots Tamiya clear smoke overspray Dunlop tires: Tamiya rubber black Spinners : Humbrol Chrome silver enamel DIMENSIONS: standard for the early 250 GTO were: front 6.00 L-15, rear 7.00 L-15 Model tires: 28mm front and 29mm rear Model rims 17mm, width 8mm front, 10mm rear This is how they look on the model - Highly recommended : If you are interested in those wheels, please contact Jason directly : Here is his e-mail-address: contact.jackmodelling@gmail.com Edited November 6 by 1959scudetto 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Rivard Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 I second Helmut's review. These look fantastic and are very easy to paint. I have 5 sets and starting work on my first Ferrari with these. At least as good as PE replacements quite reasonably priced. I highly recommend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to order some more sets (not only for the GTO's, but also for my transkits: Breadvan, 330 LMB/GTO and GTO prototype)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exotics_Builder Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 (edited) Definitely a must get. I have his wheels for the Ferrari 275 GTB and they are very nice and fit well. Edited November 7 by Exotics_Builder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Porter Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Just received two sets from Jason. One for my California and one ear-marked for my Fujimi 250GTO build. They 100% live up to expectations. Positively gorgeous wheels and tires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtJ Posted November 22 Share Posted November 22 Does the tire set have the different width for front and rear tires or are they all one width? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 Mine came as small and large pair, but I think you can ask Jason to sell you 4 of the same size if that is what you need. Here are some photos Jason posted in a PM (I hope he doesn't mind). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtJ Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 Thanks for your response. I had a difficult time with Google translate and couldn’t be sure. I thought it would be that way, but wasn’t sure. I had emailed Jason, but haven’t heard back yet. Thanks again. Kurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt Assuming that you want Englis traanslation (the user's location is no longer shown in their profile), Jason's listings are also available on American eBay. https://www.ebay.com/str/jackmodelling Edit: just realized what you mean - the descriptions are in French. I looked at one of the Ferrari wheel listings and it seems that some negative reviews were posted for Jason. Strange as I haven't had problems with him.

Kurt, just scroll up to the start of this topic - I have mentioned the dimensions inner and outer diameter and width of the tires . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtJ Posted Thursday at 02:59 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:59 PM I have heard from Jason and things should be fine. I hadn't noticed in the pictures until just now the that the 7 by 15 and 6 x 15 markings are visible on the sidewalls. Duh! Amazing stuff. When I was a kid we only had rocks to play with, they hadn't even invented dirt yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Rivard Posted Thursday at 09:40 PM Share Posted Thursday at 09:40 PM Just finished painting my first set for a current 250 gto project. Picture is worth a thousand words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
