Making resin wheels and tires?

[ARTEMIS1759]

I guess I am curious how to make a set of wheels using resin. The reason being is I found a kustom set of 1 ton wheels (1:1) I would like to make for a rig I am building (say sround 22-24") that no one offers. I am also wondering about making tires. Also would like to make a set of late 40s early 50s 1 ton dually wheels for my 51 Chevy 4100 wrecker I am building since no one has a good early set of duals. Maybe use a regullar disk type wheel and fill in any holes and carve them out myself, then duplicate them? The wrecker needs 18" wheels and tires but I don't want to but a 45 dollar diecast to steal the wheels off of. Then again I could probably cast them from a mold of those wheels. But that still leaves me with figuring out the bigger set. If they turn out I would sell someone the molds to possibly produce them. I am guessing a lot of people have run into the wrecker wheel problem even for a regular truck or something of that vintage. These are the 22-24s I need to make:

And these are the wrecker wheels:

Thanks for your help.

I think actually I probably designed the 22-24s myself using this design:

and if I hit the nail on the head maybe I will start looking into making kustom truck wheels to sell.

You need to make at least one master, which you can then copy using resin and silicone rubber molds.

If you can translate your computer image/design into a master (via 3D printing or something else) you can make as many as you want. If not, you have to scratchbuild the wheel or modify an existing wheel which is close to the design and scale you want.
