Yea, I'd like to see them. Who did you use for 3D printing? I modeled up a pie cutter cheater slick in UG and had it printed through Shapeways. Very fair pricing and they are almost ready for resin casting.
I found some pics of the tires. I did these in four pieces. A front half, a middle section, a rear half and the "whitewall" insert. Makes them easy to cast and, with a different middle section, a wider or narrower tire is easy to do.
