Tires and wheels off amt 1-32 snaps way better than monograms but not many options otherwise

Thanks i appreciate the fast answer and will look into it

I would look for some diecast donors

Thats what i would suggest also. The New Ray trucks wheels look better than kit wheels. The wheels are all the same for the Petes, kws, volvos, freightliners and macks. The Loves truck stop, Pilot and Flying J have a pretty decent selection. The T/A and Petro are hit and miss.

If you want spiders, auslowe makes great ones.

On my Aeromax, I used two sets of tires from Revell's 1:25 '97 F-150. I wanted spokes, so I used the ones from the Mack CF pumper.

Those tyres look great. Here is the auslowe page. Down the bottom. Separate spider from the rim.

Do any resin casters sell just 1/32 tires/wheels? I have several of the Monogram Mack fire trucks to convert. Could really use some better alternatives without buying full kits for just tires/wheels... Thanks!

The auslowe link in my previous post. Separate spiders and rims to make painting easier. I've got a set for my Mack fire engine. Also got a set to refurbish my 1/32 superliner.

If you can get your hands on some of the old Aurora California Fire Truck wheels they are pretty good. The snap kit tires I think would fit them.

For the restoration of my ol' GMC General, I've been keeping an eye out on ebay for an AMT parts truck Kenworth where I can use the wheels/tires and the 5th wheel. No such luck yet...

I wish you would have spoken earlier , I recently gave away a KW kit just to clear up some shelf space.

I suggest you place a feeler on the want list , as I would love to see this truck redone.

Oops, thought you were only doing 25th scale trucks. No biggie, I'll have to get my act together on assembling old magazines and other items for trade on random parts.
