  1. I would agree that 1:1 size varies. My 1:1 15" Torq Thrust D wheels measure 16" in diameter and my 1:1 17" 4Runner wheels measure 18.5" diameter.
  2. I will add the Tornado's and Uniroyal tires to my list. I'm working on Goodyear Billboard tires now and have Firestone Wide Oval, Cooper Cobra, and the old stock BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires on my to-do list. I'll have Cragar G/T Plus and Mopar Steelies with poverty caps coming next week. Planning to focus on vintage 15" sets from Vintage Wheel Catalogs.
  3. My 15" wheels are scaled to 16" to account for the bead and have an outer lip to "sit" into the tire. With the lip it measures 17.6mm diameter. Everyone has their own way of doing it, this is just mine.
  4. I have all the measurements listed in the description on my site. All my 15" wheels are a 16.93mm diameter to fit a 17mm ID tire.
  5. For anyone looking for something different for their vintage trans-am builds here's my latest wheel. Available in 1/24 and 1/18, but I can print them in larger scales upon request. Feel free to email me on my website. www.meanmachinemodels.com

  8. Hey Steve, thank you! Interesting to see a 4 slot mag. I will add this to my roadmap on my website.
  9. Thank you Peter! If you look on my website I have a roadmap page that shows a list of what I have planned to model soon. I added your Old Stock BFGoodrich Radials to the list. Also, I noticed you're in the Boston area. I'm 45 minutes north in NH.
  10. No problem. I also made a 15x8 that I haven't listed yet. Let me know if you'd like 15x7's all around or 15x7 and 15x8 staggered.
  11. Hi Guys! Let me get one thing of my chest first.. I don't actually model scale car kits. I am a 3D artist that has been in the automotive industry for 10 years now (Instagram @abowen3d or www.alexbowen-myportfolio.com). Two months ago I purchased a resin printer and got to work on printing some of my wheels and tires. After some weeks of trial and error I started posting 1/24 scale wheels and tires on Ebay and it is keeping me more than busy! I have since made a website where you can purchase 3D resin prints and STL files to 3D print yourself (www.meanmachinemodels.com) On my website you'll find a roadmap that has a layout of what I plan to model and sell next. I would eventually like to make my own scale model kit. I'm thinking either 60s Rail Dragster or Belly Tank Racer, that way I don't have to worry about copyright issues.
  12. Thank you! I actually had no idea these were the old tread patterns. Must've been before my time. I'll add it to my never-ending list of wheels/tires to model
  13. I know this topic is 6+ years old, but for anyone interested I've modeled and 3d printed 1/24 scale 15x7 and 15x10 Gold Nugget wheels with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires that I have for sale on my website (meanmachinemodels.com)
