Kaleb Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Ive got an f350 that I want some aftermarket rims. My search turned up nothing. Does anyone know of any besides die cast?
mademan Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 someone makes machined dually rims for rc semis... I grabbed a set a couple years back @ $125.00 but im not sure if they are still in production. they are multi-piece with lugs etc.
Rick Schmidt Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 I made a set of rims for my F250 using a set of the rims fro the So Real swampers I removed the tire cut the center of the rim out and placed it n the positon I wanted it in. While doing so I thought how cool it'd be to get another set and only cut the centers from 2 loose leaving a pair wide for dual tires for a dually And at the price of less that 10 a set a bit of timeand digging new tires from te parts box Ya can't beat the results
Lownslow Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 i was gonna bring some but i decided against it there wasnt enough of a demand, this is about as far as it went.

Mooneyzs Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Take a look at Micro Nitro... http://www.micronitro.net/ He has them and he offers them machined in Aluminum in 1/25th and 1/16th scale they are very nice looking. I am not sure on the price of them so you will need to send him a PM to find out what they cost. Here they are: 1 piece sets 2 piece sets Wheel Hats

They could be used on a pickup with some work to make the truck look like the custom duallys seen recently. Norm at Replicas and Miniatures offers two different styles of resin dually wheels. The round hole "Alcoa" type and a directional type. I designed all the wheels you see in these pics and I wanted Jim Littiken to make some 19.5 dually pickup wheels and 17" wheels but I wanted him to sell some of these before asking him to make more.

Doh!.. my bad.... Well I can say is Jim is willing to make custom parts I have drawn up many parts on my CAD program that I have had him make for me. I am sure he could make dually rims if given the dimensions for them

I am sure he could make dually rims if given the dimensions for them Yea, I bet he could make some really nice dually wheels!!!! I sent him several pics of currently offered (real) wheels and we talked about it a bit but I never got around to drawing them up in scale with all the measurments like I did for the ones in the pic you posted. I wasn't really happy with how few were selling so I hesitated on asking him to do anything else. I'm about to purchase several sets of the truck wheels myself. I haven't been able too after losing my job a while back.
Kaleb Posted May 29, 2012 Author Posted May 29, 2012 Greymack do you have a pic of them? $125 is wayyyy too much for just a kit to set on my shelf. I'll check out each of the other ones. What I would really like is some larger diameter rims.
