Wheels

[Donny]

I'm looking for some better wheels for the 1/25 Chrysler Imperial I started today. Not fussed with what came in the kit, so looking for something a bit more upmarket, mags maybe. Can someone give me a link to where I can find these and maybe other accessories. Thanks

Thanks Luke. I had a look, lots to choose from, how do I tell the width, the Imperial has a restricted wheel opening, so tyre width is critical. The std tyres in the kit, tread width is 6.8 mm, 27.5 OD, 15.7 ID. Am I stuck with the wheels & tyres from the kit?

Thanks Les, had a look at both of those Luke recommended, just trying to work out sizes, they don't give you much info

Thats the thing about fitting after market wheels, you are kinda restricted to what will fit. Thats why most people will kit swap wheels.

After market wheels will sometimes require modifications.

Either of these Pegasus wheels should fit the Imperial without too much modification. But no stock with Lazy Modeller. Have to shop around.
