Oddly Specific Question Probably Won’t Get An Answer

[obs.caleb]

I am currently working on a 98 k1500 and am doing a replica of a certain truck. The truck I’m building features 24 inch wheels (I know bring on the hate) and are gm snowflake wheels. On the market there are both 26s and 20s but not a 24 what should I do about this?

UPDATE: there are 24 inch snowflakes but they are 50 DOLLARS!!!!!? That is ridiculous for model car wheels.

Yes, Jay's Resin Wheels on eBay has these for under $20 (USD). He's got them in 20" and 26", but they're close to what you want and they're inexpensive.

You might contact him through eBay and ask if he'll print a set at 24", it couldn't hurt to ask.

Thank you I will try that.

If you can't get the specific size you need I would get the smaller size to make them easier to fit.

I also agree. And, his printed bodies are not too shabby either. Quite nice for a very reasonable price.

So Jay asked if i wanted tires and I told him which ones I needed and ever since then he hasn't responded. It's been about 2 and a half weeks what should I do?

You have the right to inquire on progress, 

     ...but you upgraded your special order.

 I remember ordering something from him.... Still took a cpl weeks, but did eventually arrive. Like a lot printers...they print to order not to inventory.
