Tires Resembling RWB Porsche Style
I have plans to mod a 1/24 911 Turbo '88 in the style of an RWB Porsche. I'm currently looking around for tires in that style (wide, 18-20 inch with low profile) and was wondering if anyone might have some suggestions. Thanks!

Re: Tires Resembling RWB Porsche Style
The best idea to me is to use tires from Tamiya GT2 "Road" kit, they probably are the widest available.

Re: Tires Resembling RWB Porsche Style
Nice wheels throughout, the C1 wheels need more cleaning, Mike ones have an aluminium ring (just polish a little bit, thats all) and the tire pattern is crisper

Re: Tires Resembling RWB Porsche Style
I had my shop make me some alum barrels to fit the C1 wheels. I got both the 993 and the 964. 964 barrels are deeper
