where do i get custom wheels?

[Critter]

i would like some torque thrust 2's or some weld pro star's and tires

i have seen them on a few models and they complete the entire car. where do i find them?

Do you want plastic, resin or aluminum. JPS makes great aluminum ones but a bit costly. Resin makers like Perrys Resins makes a good variety of them. Plastic ones you'd have to either buy a kit to harvest them or hope to score some at a model swap meet.

not sure what resin is. is it a type of plastic? what kinda of prices are they and where would i get them as well as tires?

Resin is a liquid + catalyst compound used to mould parts. Resin parts can be worked like plastic but must be glued with epoxy or super glues.

Some plastic wheels here; ......Pegasus is a popular choice....

also many guys buy kits to use the wheels from them on other kits.

You can get some nice Torque Thrust IIs out of Revell's '94 Impala SS lowrider version. I found that kit on sale at Wal-Mart a while back and bought several, just for the wheels.

If I remember correctly, the old Monogram '87 Thunderbird Pro/Stock kit has Weld Pro Stars. I could be wrong, so verify that before you go on eBay and buy one.

DarylH mentioned people buying kits just to get parts...that's what I did.

There are other forums out there, but many of us feel that this is the best site for serious model builders. A lot of hard-core builders, a minimum of junk posts to wade through. Any time you're looking for info, just ask.
