Not sure which wheels to get...

[brodie_83]

I'm wanting to build my 1/12 Shelby GT500 kit, but I really don't want to use the original wheels/tires. I was looking in the R/C world and found 2 that I liked:

Now I just have to decide which ones would look best on the GT500. I'm thinking the 2nd ones (I'd probably paint them with Duplicolor Chrome to give the polished look rather than chrome). The theme is going to be K.I.T.T. from the most recent Knight Rider TV show, but revamped to the newer style GT500. I'll also be scratch-building a Super Snake hood with possibly some LED work in the scoop. Let me know what you all think. Thanks!

If it were me I would go with the chrome ones, the black ones look a little to ricey.

[Big Daddy]

X2 I'd go with the chrome

[crazyjim]

X3 chrome.

[gasman]

black, I actually think the chrome is too ricey

I've always liked BBS LM style wheels, I would have bought a set for my Lexus if I could have made the offset work. I know the blue wouldn't work, maybe something like a polished aluminium.

The Chrome ones mimic the 03 Cobras Annies pretty well

I stripped the wheels on the Shelby I'm building and painted them black. I like the look. To each his own.

I like the chrome too.

Definatly the chrome ones. They've got a nice lip that would work for a muscle car.

Black.

Chrome is for show.

Black is to Go..Fast...

BTW: I haven't owned Chrome wheels on my 1:1 cars for Yrs but Mine aren't for show..

[MyBradKeselowski]

I say the chrome ones...

[David G.]

Get both, put black on the front and chrome on the back... unless it's front wheel drive, then put the chrome on the front.

You should do what seems right to you.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I think I'm gonna go with the black ones pictured above and paint them with Duplicolor Chrome. They look like something that might come on a Mustang...and I think they'll look good. The first ones look a little too "tuner"ish to me.

I'd keep looking for something better looking than either.

How about these, they're chrome over black plastic so you can strip the chrome if you don't like it!

These are 1.9"x26mm (1") and can be had with 3, 6, or 9 millimeter offsets.
