Steelies

Anybody have a source for 1/24 scale steelies? (modern ones, anyway...) ;) Probably not what most of us think of when looking for model car wheels.... :p

This is close enough, just drill like 10 holes in each wheel:rolleyes:

I was thinking it'd be great if I could find aluminum disks with concentric ripples, and then just drill the holes and paint... Don't know where to start looking...

Maybe you can get a Lancer Evolution RS model by Fujimi. The box art has steelies, but don't know what's inside.

maybe you can ask gti1800 if he can spare the ones that came with his micra.:confused:

I have plenty of the type used on my Chevelle and Orange Dodge if they are any use to you

:p

LOL....cant help you with that type :p

Those things look like the Honda 13 inch 4X100 steelies. Are they off your Accord Jay? Those wheels are very similar to the Tamiya Nissan skyline 2000GT-R Hard Top. kit (24194) Its as close to modern steel wheels that I've seen.

My car came with alloy wheels. :p I just stole the picture. ;) So you mean like the one in Tazdev's gallery (http://www.automotiveforums.com/scalemodeling/tazdev/)? I can't see his wheels too well... :( Thanks for the tip.

The best I can come up with, so far :devil:, has been a flat-tire scene... Perhaps too much drifting... ;)

You're a drifter?! Wow, I didn't know that!! Sweet~
Intresting idea, I guess you can also use other small wheels instead of steelies if you can't find any.

Don't you just love it when old threads are brought up and push some very useful and informative thread off the first page? :p

I thought this topic was old, long live resurrecting old threads! It'll always happen because we are all so boring to think of a new one to make. Anyway, what steelies are you talking about Pman? You mean the chrome ones? I may be interested in that if so, got any deep dish ones? or any Dragways?

jay, you still planning on doing that flat tire scene? It's near the bottom of my very long to do list. I just don't have room to build any dioramas in my apartment... I can't wait to have a garage... :sigh:
