Exotics_Builder Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Just got them today (Snow delayed delivery: Here are the wheels (wide and wider): And yes, there are separate lug nuts and included air valves:
Zoom Zoom Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Thanks for sharing; I'll have Scale Productions version of the same wheels soon. I don't think there are separate lugs in the SP wheel set.

I don't think there are separate lugs in the SP wheel set. I believe you're right on the Scale Production Wheels. I was thinking of ordering a set of those from Kevin at Strada Sports. BTW, I also got one Hobby Design PE set for the Revell Ferarri California. Edited February 11, 2010 by Exotics_Builder

jbwelda Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 could we see a close up of the lugnuts please?
Exotics_Builder Posted February 13, 2010 Author Posted February 13, 2010 could we see a close up of the lugnuts please? Here’s a close up: As you can see, supplied is a special hex key lug nut. I have seen these for some wheels on cars due to design and lack of space for the socket. That said, I have never seen a 599 or 612 with the monolithic wheels have that kind of lug nut. But I have an option. I picked these up a few weeks ago. These are more like the lugs I see on the wheels (close up below): So, I would believe that waiting for the Scale Productions 599 monolithic wheels would be better for most of us. I actually got the lug nut sets more for diorama or correcting an issue. Never did I think I would do so as soon as now. I got these from Mediamix Hobby in Singapore. I normally order from them only for items I can’t get here. Normally, I would go to Strada Sports for items like this. Amongst other vendors, Kevin carries Hobby Design, Scale Productions and Tuner Model Manufactory. The items above are not yet in his catalog, but are coming.
jbwelda Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 thanks! i just got some of those tuner manufactory lug nuts myself.
Ben Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Those Manufactory lug nuts are nice!!!! Where do you get them and how much do they run for a set?
