Need racing wheels/tires
Posted by Don Stauffer on Saturday, October 1, 2011 9:08 AM

I am getting ready to make a track roadster from the Revell 32 Ford kit and a T body that I picked up.  But I need heavy duty wheels and racing tires.  I have used Fred's Resin in the past for modified wheels and tires (same as needed for the track roadster).

But, a visit to his web site says he is shut down for awhile for health problems.  Anyplace else I can get that type of wheels (heavy duty "pickup" wheels)?

Have you tried Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland? I know they have several types of tires but they don't really have a web site. I don't know how you could see what they have available.

Thanks.  Someone just suggested that by phone to me.  He said he heard they had some new wheels and tires which are not in their latest flyer. I'll have to look into that.

Don,

first, try tjscustomcasting. He'll probably have what you need. Second, try earlyyearsresins. And third, timemachineresin. His list includes some 50's Chevy 6 lugs.

I'd rather light than fight.

Looking for sprint car decals, Mopars, and wheel and tire sets from ARII and Otaki.

Try Tom's Model Garage, or DetailMaster.

They've usually got some wheels to offer, although I"m not exactly sure what you're looking for. But they DO carry some.

I'm having a hard time finding some of these firms. I assumed what folks wrote was the first part of URLs. I added .com, but it came up page not found.  I guess I need full URLs.

I have emailed Replicas & Miniatures for more details on a couple of their offerings which sound like they may do the trick.

I have these, there from the AMT '69 ford talladega kit. I dont have the back side part though.

if they are the type you need you can have them shoot me a pm

I can also send some goodyear or hoosier tire lettering if you need it.

these tires have "goodyear" molded on the one side but it can be sanded off or just flipped around like i have done in the pics.

I'm afraid these are too wide.  My track roadster will be from the forties or fifties, and the wide tires were not available then. It will have tire widths in the six inch range and a wheel rim width corresponding.

My best bet may be a pickup truck of that vintage, but I was hoping a wheel and tire set would be less than the price of a full kit.
