1/43rd Scale Wheels

[Mooneyzs]

Do any of you know where you can pick up some aftermarket wheels in 1/43 scale?? I recently picked up a Jimmy Flinstone Atomic Bomb in 1/43 and was looking for some different rims and tires for it. Thanks.

I have the after math of a couple 1/43 cars that were destroyed. I may have some and I have no idea if I have a set. I will look for you and post pics here. If you can use them, then they are yours.

Thanks Railfreak.... the ones that came with this resin kit are all pweter and you have paint the rubber on the metal wheel and was thinking if I could find something else I would rather do that. The other thing I thought is that I may have to go to walmart, target or toys r us and see if they have any 1:43 scale diecast with any cool wheels on them and buy the diecast just for the wheels

Check out the Hot Wheels "G Machines". They are closer to 1:50 scale, but have huge diameter (20"-24") wheels which may work for a 1/43 scale model.

Here are a few examples, but they came in Kustoms, Rat Rods, muscelcars, etc:

Hey I looked and I only have 3 of 4 tires and they are hard plastic Nascar style wheels and 3 of 4 even smaller rubber tires from a small Camaro. Sorry about that Thats a great idea Casey!

Head over to Ebay and search for Testor's 1/43 scale highboy. It comes with a couple of sets of wheels and tires that are VERY nice.

Here's a set of the Pro-Street wheels/tires my buddy Tommy May used on an AMT 1/43rd Camaro.
