mysterj1 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Came across these wheels online today and got to thinking I have a 69 Firebird kit that something like these wheels would look great on. Thinking of a set of big and littles, 15x7 and 15x10s. Does anyone have a recommendation for something simliar? Edited January 10, 2015 by mysterj1
MeatMan Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Scale Models by Chris has a five spoke Torque Thrust resin big littles but you'd have to paint the centers. They have an aluminum finish, not high polish chrome though. I got Centerlines from him and they were pretty good.. You could also buy a set of five spoke chromes and remove the chrome from the centers. I've done that manually and it takes a lot of time and care but it can be done.. I love that look myself.
Snake45 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I think the wheel in your pic is much bigger than 15". Looks like 18" or so to me, I dunno. Now, are you looking for a wheel like this in a 15" size, or in a larger size?
Monty Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) One of our moderators (Casey) offers a number of resin wheels on ebay under forward_resin. (http://www.ebay.ca/sch/m.html?_ssn=forward_resin&rt=nc) These are available through scenes unlimited. (http://scenesunlimited.homestead.com/Wheels.html) He's a member here too. Both guys offer great resin castings. HTH Edited January 12, 2015 by Monty
