[mopar01lee]

Ok i, like a lot of you. like a good set of steel rims .. even better a good set of big an little steelies .

me for the most part its about the mopar look ...

So this was my attempt to fix my prob.

i started with a set of steels from the 68 charger kit . an we all kw that them rims are small they fit very few tires,an there thin...

first a look before the mods..

heres my fix..

took a small strip of styrene an added it to the out side of the rim ...

then made it a lill deeper..

did the same to the front rim , just not as deep..

and now a look at the master ..

i also made a mold an have casted a few ..

if this is wrong for this section sry .. please move

later days ..Davin

neet - different way of doing it - i cut the ring off another rim and glue it to the one i need deepend - now i have a different way of geting my amt rims to fit revell tires thanks mike.

That looks good. I have three mopars that could use those rims. Are you interested in a trade for a few set's?

[mopar01lee]

its a possible .. but im still new to casting .. but there real good quality from a newwbie .. i can get most with lill to no air bubbles..

pm me with a offer..

[Evil Appetite]

[shucky]

Speaking of which.... What Dog Dish's are you planning on doing?Me needs BADLY a set of `68 Plymouth Dog Dishes. Got `em or know of a source?Although I have Centerlines on her now, I'm probably going back to steelies & caps. I need a set to build the replica of my car.Sorry for the detour off-topic. BTW: I like your solution for modifying the wheels. I'll take that with me. Thanks!

[mopar01lee]

fastback340 i will be doin the set from the 68 charger and a old style off a fury ... i need to get the set from the 70 roadrunner from r/m...

[Tonioseven]

Nice!!!

[Rob Hall]

Nice...steelies and DDs just look so right on many Mopies, IMO...

I still prefer the 1/24 scale 15" steel wheels from the Revell '64 Ford T-bolt kits when building an A12 car. They drop right into the Monoogram 15" Goodyear Steel Belted Radial tires, too:

And a (slightly) better image of these wheel in bare white resin:
