Wheel Search

[loudcherokee]

Hello folks,

Still working on trying to recreate a scale model of a lowrider truck that I grew up with. I'm looking for wheels similar to what was on the truck. I'm building this out of a Toyota kit by Hi-Lux I think? is the brand.

Here's the truck with the wheels I'm searching for.

Thanks,

LC

The AMT 55 Chevy Stepside pickup has a similar wheel. It appears a little more flat than the ones you have pictured.

Wow...that's awesome! What kind of stuff are you looking for to trade?

While I'm at it, can anyone tell me what kind of spoiler this thing has? In 1:1 scale that is. While I'm doing a replica in scale, I'm also searching for a 1:1 project truck to recreate this truck, and I'm not sure where that spoiler came from.

Those look alot like the "Fitipaldi" rims that the Stealth R/T kits from AMT came with too.

It could be a number of aftermarket spoilers. If you plan to do a real mini truck in 1:1, it doesnt matter what it's made for, wiht enough modification anything can fit!

thats why i said a OEM civic spoiler! they are small, narrow, and would be easier to modify and fit to the truck!

Hi-Lux is the name Toyota gave to their small truck.

Ahh...then I'm not sure of the brand. Blue Fin maybe? based on the box? Here's a pic.
