Looking for wheels in 1/16 scale
« on: January 09, 2018, 01:45:52 PM »
Hi fellas
I´m in need of 1/16 modified rims for an upcoming project.
Are there modified wheels/rims in 1/16 scale from any source available ?

Pat,
thank you for your fast Response!!
Actually i have everything you offer in my stash and i have two of the AMT 1/16 Hardees Thunderbirds.
I thought to use the parts of the Thunderbird, but that´s not exactly what i´m looking for.
I´d like to get some wheels like the ones on my Minions Trans Am:

I think, i have to scratch build them.
Again, thanks for posting your pics for me !!

 :)  Yes, Pat, Fred did experiment with some 1/16 W5s when I first came back into the hobby in '06.  He did them for me, and ran some, then decided not to get into it.  He sent me his best, plus all the seconds, and I used them several times and then moved to 1/25.  I finally sent all my 1/16 stuff to Danny Tarpley in Texas.

A couple of years back, I took one off one of my 1/16 cars, and sent it to www.decal.man.com  for him to make some for himself. He then sent it back to me, and I put it back on  my car. I broke the axle on mine doing it, so I am not anxious to do it again.
It was difficult to rebuild it.

Michael, you might contact him and see if he has any others.  Be sure to get the dot between decal and man, or you will get someone else.

Good luck.
