57peppershaker Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 I've just bought a damaged Ertl 1;18 Two Lane Blacktop 55 chevy. I plan to repair it & make it a bit more realistic with some weathering ect. BUT it has Cragar 5 spoke wheels, not Daisy Mags as in the film (c'mon Ertl pay attention). Where can I buy 1;18 Daisy mag wheels ? Resin or did they come on another car ?
sjordan2 Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) Would the Bullitt Mustang work? Also you might Google GMP wheels. They have a lot of styles in 1:18 Edited September 22, 2010 by sjordan2
Doughnut Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 They came in one of the 1/16th scale model kits I have. Would the difference be very noticeable?
57peppershaker Posted September 22, 2010 Author Posted September 22, 2010 The do look close, sjordan2. Probably closer than the Cragars. Doughnut, I've got some Cragars from the AMT 1;16 57 Chevy, so I'll compare those first. I'm sure I've seen resin Daisy mags on ebay, but coulda got the scale wrong due to my bad memory.
Ben Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 I could swear that I have seen someone offering these wheels in resin in a larger scale? I can't remember what scale though. Another way to search for them is by looking for "200S" wheels.
Doughnut Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 I've seen them on ebay as well, but they have always been repops of the 1/25th and 1/16th scale rims offered in the older kits. I have not seen a 1/18th scale set, but they could be out there.
my80malibu Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 I would try GMP. I thought I have seen them offered before.
57peppershaker Posted September 24, 2010 Author Posted September 24, 2010 I found 1;16th rear Daisy Mags from Competition Resin, so a kinda start, but nothing in 1;18 yet. I may have to go with modded Torque Thrust's as a 2nd option.
AzTom Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 I should have a set from a 1/18 Corvette by Ertl. Those are the only ones I can think of. Give me a few days, AzTom
