om617 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Wow! Looks beautiful Does the set`s come with tires?
shucky Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 Hi Tommy - thanks, yes each comes with brand new Tamiya tire pack.
jeffs396 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 VERY nice Mike!!! There's a real need for these. Are they available now? Will you have ordering info on your Fotki page(s)? For those of you who haven't experienced Mike's stuff first hand, he takes great care in providing top notch quality!
shucky Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) Thanks Jeff! They are available now in limited number. I have been selling my spare resin on eBay mostly as I no longer take specific orders unless its something I'm currently working on or can handle doing between my own projects. What I have made currently is listed on eBay now, some have sold already but I do have some in all styles ready to ship. I will also have more made up within the next week or so. I made these for my own projects and have plenty for myself so I decided to sell the spares. They come complete with new Tamiya tire pack, aluminum sleeves (hand polished inner surfaces), and resin wheel inserts. Here is a set mocked up- Some info on the aluminum sleeves- FRONT (.411 wide) = In 1/24 [9.86 wide], in 1/25 [10.2 wide] REAR (.491 wide) = In 1/24 [11.78 wide], in 1/25 [12.2 wide] DIAMETER of each (.914) = In 1/24 [21.9 inch], in 1/25 [22.85 inch] Edited January 9, 2014 by shucky
Chris White Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Can you send me a links, or what's is your ebay store name. I would like to buy some
freakshow12 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Having dealt with you in the past I will DEFINATELY be getting some of these.
shucky Posted January 10, 2014 Author Posted January 10, 2014 Chris sent you PM. Thanks Kerry, thanks Fred! I'll just say publicly to my friends in the "north" (Canada lol) if any of you have issues with eBay because of my account preferences please PM me here and we can arrange something outside of eBay (like always). Thanks fellas.
Prostreet Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Good stuff Mike, The quality looks great as usual.
DrKerry Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Hey Mike, pm me some info on where to find your stuff if you would. Thanks!!!!
dimaxion Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Even though I don't or won't use these , I like them . Well done showcasing Talent . Excellent parts . Thanx ..
Armornv Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 I would be very interested in some if not all of these. I'll be (at some point in the future) building a sort of modern pro street( I guess that's what you would call this) version of a 72 chevy truck. It's kind of a cross between pro street and pro touring??? I don't know but I think it looks pretty sweet. What you're showing pictures of is the closest thing I have been able to find. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough. But I could build a model around any of those wheel as opposed to building a model and finding the right wheels! If you have any ordering info and or ebay name let me know. Those are just plain sweet!
Tom Kren Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Nice wheels can I get more info on them and are the back flat or have a mount stub?
shucky Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 Thanks guys for all of the orders and kind words. Some folks have already received their wheels sets and all others pending are shipping tomorrow. Tom, the backs are flat. Since there is "selling" here if anyone needs further info please send me a PM. I should be adding another new wheel center next week as well. Thanks ya'll Mike
low4ever Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) @shucky , do you mind pming me your ebay information. Would like to get a few sets of wheels from you. Edited January 24, 2014 by low4ever
Chris White Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) I received mine, liked them so much ordered another set. Real quality stuff !!!!!!! Thanks Mike Edited January 27, 2014 by Chris White
Greg Cullinan Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Yup,me too. So nice. Such top notch service. [/url Started a build around a set of these... [url=http://s246.photobucket.com/user/tarface/media/6BDF1BB8-13BF-43B9-93E6-24FA45BE52D5.jpg.html] ]
shucky Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 Guys, thanks so much for the orders and the kind words! I'm working hard to get more finished. I will be adding 2 more styles next week. A classic 5 spoke mag and a large diameter Fuch's. I will also have some options for wide tires at all four corners and some sets with resin sleeves instead of aluminum. Will post pictures in this thread when everything is ready.
