HOW TO CREATE SOME WIDE-BRIMMED WHEELS.. PICS. .(different than RYAN GIORGIO).

Hi everybody.....,:) :)

This is a second solution ( first was by RYAN GIOGIO) to have some nice wide-brimmed wheels.....
:D :D :D
Also, doing like this, we win one size more large.(18''.......19")

First, in a styren plastic i have made some wheel tyre, join with some putty...

After sanding and sanding, the wheels are ready for painting...

Laurent from FRANCE.....

You are a genius!! Great Idea!!~ And thanks for sharing!!~ :flash:

:eek: AMAAAAAAAAAAAAZING..........................

Great Idea im going to have to try it!!!, also what kind of chrome did you use that looks great!!!

Hi,
this is a chrome paint in spray (400ml) SINTO PEINTURE.

*goes upstairs to give it a shot... *

Thanks Laurent!

Olivier

Wow..that is a good idea man.. :D

Oh yeah.. what is the thickness of the styrene sheet you using for the brim dude?
Thanks in advance. :flash:

Turned out well, nice work!

Great tutorial.

the easier way. LOL i like this onse since i dont have to butcher a wheel to make it

wow, very good, the result looks factory.

Nice tutorial

he used .05 MM styrene or that what i used when i followed his instructions

Wow!!! Very nice!!! I have a question though. What do you do about the increase diameter of the wheel as compared to the tire. Dont you have problems getting the tires on after making the wheels larger around?:confused: :alien:

i tryed it and the tire will stretch a little to fit!! well most will i think

they fit when i tried mine its those hard ass vinyl tires they wont stretch for nothing exept a lighter

beautiful:eek: :eek: :eek: :cool: :cool: :cool:

:ylsuper AWESOME!

I assume you cut off the same amount of rim from the back that you put on :)

nice wheels ;) :cool:

Actually, I meant the inside diameter of the tire would now be smaller than the outside diameter of the wheel because of the added plastic.
Along the same topic lines, does anyone have any recommendations for increasing the width of tires? I am going to do this on my 1/12 Camaro so I can have wide slicks on the back. The tires are hollow. I was thinking about cutting the tires in parts and glueing them back together like i did on my black Camaro in the gallery. But slicks have no tread, so the cut lines will be really obvioous if not perfectly straight.

Holy shit that idea is way better than mine. I need to get my hands on some strene. Great idea bro.

great idea!
follow up question..
where did you get those tires? anyone?

Ah! Sorry if I misunderstood you :bloated:

Anyway quality tires from makers like Tamiya are strectchy and have no problem fitting onto a slightly larger wheel diameter. :)

:eek: :eek:

The fact that you show us the way it was supposed to be with the factory wheels and now with the modified got me... I want to do some of those wheels. Thanks buddy.

Man that's cool :cool: :D
You got a terrible result too.

I'll have to try it soon ;)

Thanks for sharing :D :)

the question is .. where is that thread on your EVO 8?? looking great with that car :D

Merci Beaucoup!

Got great results trying it, now I can finally find a way to recycle those ugly ass little rims!
What I did, is use two instead of one styrene sheet, but one of 0.30 mm.
the outer was about one mm wider then the inner, and I do think this is the way to go to make some dishes!
Thanks a lot laurent!

Here is the pic, the rims are not painted yet, but just to show how well it worked out !
Love this technique!
Thanks again http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/484292Rims1.jpg

Hi,
Thanks for your all comments........
I think that it will be the best solution to have some beautiful cars......maybe GERMAN look......
This thread had been also traduce in a BRASILIAN SITE....:eek: :alien2: :alien2:

I must've missed this thread...Genius Idea, I am gonna try this sumday...maybe on the wheel that come with the revell ITR

great idea ,the only problem i can see is with tamiya rims as they will sit outside the wheel arches ,so then you will have to flare the guards

This is a perfect tutorial, I want to use Volk TE-37s on my supra but wanted them wider in the back, now I can do that, thanks.

OMFG!!

those look fuggen INSANE!!!

that chrome spray is the shiznit.

they are the work of a god, excellent idea!

my Sileighty can finally get some proper drift wheels going on.


WOOHOO!!

Dang. Very nice tutorial. I'm going to have to try this on one of my new kits.

Like that kid from the Dodge commercial:

"Swe--et"

thx for the tutorial
alfred
