They seem to be toy-like; I wouldn't spend my money on them.

They do seem very simplified, even the 5-spoke one looks bad. They're 26" inches? Where could I put something that big?

Well, i'm not sure if it's 26", it might be 26mm (which will give you about 24") or even 26mm with rubber (will give you about 21" or so)
Well I need to place an order, I might sacrifice myselft and get one for the community :p

I would'nt order without getting a real size.
There are a lot of wheels like these out for diecast cars. Most I've seen are silly big to use on 1/24 scale models.
If you want an idea of what they look like, take a look at some of the 'Dub' 1/24th scale die-cast kits.

I have friends who get those Muscle Machine / Import Racer die-cast 1:24 cars. Some of those kits have extra wheels, so you can swap out if you like. These look very similiar to those. I tried a few of those on some 1:24 models. Even though it said 19" or 20" on the diecast, it's actually much bigger. More like 24". Unusable for models, so I'd save your money.

I think they look ok, but yea a bit toylike, but a good deal, I wish he would stock some more popular wheels in larger sizes (18's and 19's) i have bought a set of the Ewing III's and a set of the sparco 1's or whatever they were called, and I am very pleased with them, but im still hoping for some 18's of any kind

If they are big like what people say they would look tight On an Expedition or Navigator (Which there is none of these out yet) or Escalade or H2 ( None out yet I think). They would be some good BLING BLING

Revell makes an Expedition; it's a Snap-tite kit but's well-made and worth the money.

This is a bit of a bump....
Just wondering if anyone here has bought any of these yet and if so, what they look like in person. I'm planning on putting them on a Chevy Silverado, so the size may be a little big, but doable.
Thanks!

I didn't
but I talked to Dennis and he finally changed the description of it for 26"
So about 27mm
