Custom aluminum rims for my '56

[astroracer]

I was out in the shop this morning running rims for an order and decided to make some one-off rims for my 1/16th scale '56 I am working on.

These are for the front, using tires from a dollar store toy truck. The tire specs work out to a 295/30R-19 in 1/16th scale and the tread pattern is darn close to the rear tires I will be using. I still need to come up with a center design and I am leaning toward a BBS style center. What do you think?

Here is a pic with a 1/25th scale Pro Street tire for comparison.

Once I get the conversion done I will want to build two of these cars. One as a straight axle style gasser and the other as a low slung Pro Touring car. These tires and wheels will be for the PT car of course. The rear tires I will be using are from another kiddie toy and they scale out to a 420/20R-23. I need to order the aluminum for those. It will take some 1 1/2" dia. X .25 wall tubing to make them.

Thanks for looking.

Hi Bob, thanks.

My vending days are pretty much over. I'll be starting a new job Monday and that will leave me with no vacation time for road trips. Parsippany is a 4 day trip and I just won't be able to ask for the time off.

I still have tons of product though if you are interested or need anything. Just holler.
