[Nick Winter]

How would I end up with these,

no resin casters have them and even in 1:1 there hard to find.

Hey Nick the wheels in the AMT Chevrolet Tahoe kit are kinda like that. Their directional though.

Nick,

Could you reduce the size, cut them out and glue them on steel wheels????

[envious8420]

looks like if you started with some olds cutlass wheels and scratched up some center covers.

i could do it for a fee, i know how important this build is to you.

I meant Good Year VIVA's.

The "Viva" is the private brand Goodyear makes for Wal-Mart (So they're built to a price point and anyone can tell where you shop for tires)

[Nick Winter]

I can tell you for a fact those were not bought at wally world, I was there when they were installed, they weren't my choice, They were installed by a local shop.

It won't let me put in the link, but it's on the goodyeartires (dot) com site in the FAQ section...that's where I cut/pasted this from.

Seems pretty clear to me...

Mark, They were not bought at Walmart, I was there when they were put on the Truck, They were installed at

Consumers Tire

102 Industrial Road Whitby

They are a Tire Wholesale place that installs

[Harry P.]

Isn't it true that there are really only a handful of actual tire manufacturers, and they make all the various "brands" of tires out there? I seem to remember reading that once...

[Nick Winter]

looks like Cobra98 has the best deal here that looks the closest to the 1:1 wheelcovers.
