TopherMcGinnis Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I've been a gear head since the day the Dr dropped me on my head 😁. Ever since I can remember I've always loved Peterbilt rigs. I started this one a few years ago, its one of the 1st models I painted successfully with an airbrush. I stretched and lowered it, built a custom visor for it and got aftermarket wheels for it. I believe it's time to wrap this guy up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're aftermarket wheels and rubber tires. They're Lo Pro tires too. I bought them 5 or 6 years ago. I'll see if I can find the site I bought them from for you.
