hello everybody my name is dennis and i am new here, i just got back into biulding trucks again . i started biulding when i was about 7 and had a huge collection of biulds, parts and nib model trucks. i backed off on my biulding in late 90's and then lost everything to a house fire in 05. now im back into it again and i keep asking myself why i ever stopped, lol. anyways now that im biulding again i am looking for parts, one thing im struggling finding is chrome rims like the revells have. if anybody can help me out i would be very greatfull. i will gladly pay or trade out. thanks alot im glad to be a member here, and a great big thanks to TIM AHLBORN for getting me back into biulding and showing me all the sites so far. also big thanks to ERIC over at ppvintage kits for the good stuff he has set me up with.

Welcome to the forum, and sorry to hear about your house fire. I've been there, too. I lost everything in 1997, and there are many rarer kits I'm still trying to replace. It takes time, but at least your back to building. The rims you are looking for, are they from the Revell Pete and KW kits recently released, or from Revell of Germany kits?

hi there highway and thanks for the welcome, i guess you know what im talkin bout with the fire. kinda funny how those trucks couldnt take the heat!! as far as the rims and tires are concerned im lookin for the revell german type or even the italeri style. however i would like a couple sets of the front rims from the other revell kits cause they have that "outer wheel seal" look if ya know what i mean. heck i would even take some amt/ertl rims right now. kinda funny how when i was biulding before when ever i needed something like that all i had to do was find what box it was in, lol but im biulding back up my parts i have bought about 7 parts yards off ebay. thanks for the responce ; dennis

No problem, Dennis, it will take time, but you'll rebuild the collection quicker than you think! At the time of my fire, I had been building for about 12 years and had probably about 150-200 kits, since then I now have over 400! I'll see what I can find wheel wise, I'm very low on the truck parts side myself. The little bit of spare parts I do have seem to be finding their way to my latest build.

I've been trying to get some of the junkyards on ebay, too. You must be the outbidding me! Just kidding!
