brodie_83 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I'm wondering of anybody has ever made a set of larger sized (17's or 18's) Shelby wheels, found on cars like Eleanor from "Gone In 60 Seconds". I know theres a german place that makes a resin Eleanor kit with those wheels, but I dont think they are offering them separately. Just in case, I emailed them and asked. If anyone knows of anywhere else that makes them, please let me know. Thanks! -Brodie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Like these? They are closer to 20" in 1/25 scale, though: The real wheel with a knock-off in place: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you plan to use them with the kit's 5.5" wide tires, they'll need to be modified to fit a proportionate tire of your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streetmachine11 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 hey brodie, here is the diecast i was talking about and a mockup to give you an idea. the back wheels are great for the offset and the fronts can be used on smaller cars like the opel gt or mini. not bad for the price jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
