[dunne08]

Hi, I'm Looking For 1:24 BEO Wheels For My Model Civic, Cant Seem To Find Any Anywhere & I Was Wondering If Any1 Here Has Come Across Them?
This Is What They Look Like:


Please Let Me Know If You Know Where I Can Get Them, Thanks.

look on HLJ.com and search for wheels, in the 1/24 1/25 scales. They usually have small pics that you can just browse through and find similar wheels...or even identical wheels that are a different name.

If you can't find them, make them, they look pretty easy to fab up.

Thanks For The Reply, I Checked HLJ But Nothing, Do You Know Any Other Good Sites That Sell Wheels?

It'll Be Too Hard To Make Them Good, It Wud Look Better If The Were Bought..

What size are you looking for, and what kit are you working on? The wheels in the Fujimi kit measure out to about 16" in 1:24. If you're using the Revell kits that are 1:25, they will appear to be slightly larger. I have a set that I'm not going to use, I can send them to you if you promise to stop capitalizing every word in your post

Sorry, not a great picture. I really need to figure out my fiancee's camera. It's way nicer than mine, but I can't shoot for shot. If you're interested, PM your address and I'll throw them in the post Monday.

y'know, I've been wanting to have a better look at these wheels too.
From the looks of, it's not a true representation of the Civic Type-R wheel


and more like the NSX-R wheel



Too bad because I was hoping to use them to replicate these

for a long standing project.

Thanks For the pic try and use macro on your camera it looks like this
This allows your camera to focus on objects closer than 1metre. Thanks Alot bud ill PM yu my details...

@ Drunken Monkey. Just a little filing and some careful drilling should make a really good representation. Or just make the spokes yourself. Really it isn't THAT hard to do.

Make one set of spokes (just one of the sets of 2, you know what I mean?)

cast that spoke in some orange RTV from the auto parts store

mix up some THIN epoxy and start making lots of spokes (enough to make one wheel)

find a suitable rim hoop and center (lugs and what not), glue your new spokes and center in and get to work sanding and finishing.

Once you are satisfied, use that same orange RTV (after you clear coated your "master") make a mold and pop out 4 identical wheels.

I know this sounds like a LOT of work, but if you want something unique that looks good, that's what it takes.

I did use my macro! Thanks for the tip, though!

And you know what, now that you say that, these might actually be from the NSX kit. I can't remember!
