New resin wheels

[Tom Birky]

Thought I would share info on these resin wheels. I've been doing business with this gentleman on ebay for quite awhile and he's been great to work with and his resin products are of top notch quality.
He has alot of resin projects going on, so it took a bit, but at my pleading he's mastered a couple of sets of rims for use on vintage stockcars. The first is an Ansen style aluminum rim that was very popular in the mid seventies through mid eighties. Think of the 70s vintage Camaros, almost everyone used them.

The second is an 8 lug slotted wheel popular in the 60s and 70s. Many midwest racers ran 3/4 ton truck suspension and required heavy duty wheels. Although these have a Halibrand shaped hole, I think theyll look just fine painted to represent a painted steel rim. Note this set comes with different front and rear hubs.

Chris also has resin Camaro bumpers. You can search his stuff on ebay under the name Hoppersbazaar or just search using the terms in the picture above. I hope you'll check him out and give his resin a try. The castings are clean and sharp with no pin holes.

I also have him saved. I've bought quite a few things from him. Like you said Tom...Good castings.

Hey guys, I received my resin order from Chris Cady from Hoppersbazaar this afternoon and man am I impressed!  Here's a few pix of my order.  I have them all scrubbed and drying and will post more once they're painted!  Great quality and service!

They're very nice for sure, Steven.  I painted the Ansen's with Alclad and they look much better than the photos show.  I may try some other finishes as well.
