Revell BMW i8-Do someone make the correct wheels?

I want to know if there's someone that makes the correct wheels or if there's someone that can make them in 3D Printing.

Thanks!

I don't know of any aftermarket company producing the wheels yet. Give it time, as the kit was just introduced. If the aftermarket doesn't produce them, then you'll need to find someone who can.

Would be good to know what those needed wheels look like. A picture would be helpful.

What wheel do you mean? I know at least two styles, excluding the prototype style.

I think what OP means to say is the size, not the design.

i cannot help you with this, but as i know the 3D Printing is more complex for use. Maybe making the correct wheels for your model will earlier.

Making the rims in other sizes is not difficult, the issue will be with getting the right tires for the new rims.
Both can be 3D printed, though they will not be cheap, probably will cost more then the kit itself.

I have rough sketches of the bottom set but i naturally like my wheels oversized.

They looks not too complex. I think, I can try. Do you need new tyres also?

Mikhail,

Nice work, very nice indeed. Mind if I ask what you charge for something like this? I have a project that needs some custom wheels made. Let me know if you could possible take on another project.
