Well I decided that I am going to start modeling again in my spare time as my 1:1 is going into the body shop for awhile so I got nothing to work on haha. I was wondering if there are any companies that replicated or tooled something that resembles my wheels on my 1:1. They are Konig Kolors Ultralites here is a pic for reference

BTW THEY NEED TO BE 18s!!! or 17s at least but I really would prefer 18s

Here is a pic of my 1:1 as well that I am going to replicate for the show season :iceslolan

Fabrication of the body mods I have waiting for the 1:1 shouldnt be to much of a challenge for me and I am excited to start this build... though I really should finish my mini/full size truck models first NNL is around the corner!!!

I need split six spokes though not five lol, appreciate you looking around for me though!!! Im not to good with finding acessories on the computer so forgive me. I was thinking about using the civic hatch revell rims but the tires are ridiculous on them and Im not impressed with the quality. I got some fujimi wheels I used on my s13 and I love them

The wheels from the Civic kit wouldn't be a bad jumping off point. Strip the chrome off, maybe recontour them, cut the rib from the circumference so you can use Fujimi or Aoshima tires, and paint them and you'd be pretty convincing, I'd say.

What about these?

Close, but you would have to open them up a little bit. Little work involved.
BTW, nice ride, i like the two tone. Also erase tyour license plate, you never know now a days.

Erase the license plate? I assume you mean in the pic, but why?

30 dollars for wheels damn lol. I think teh civic wheels area closer match anyway. Too bad though thought maybe there was something closer. Keep an eye out guys I wanna get this started sometime soon, my silverado will be done in a few weeks :)

Yeah, that's what it means when you get no more replies. Most aftermarket wheels are not made in 1/24. But you could always change the wheels on your 1/1 to match a set you can find in 1/24.

I know what it implies but sometimes people overlook threads.... not a very warm way to welcome back a member but whatever, I am here to get input on my builds not to make friends. I guess I will stick to my civic wheel idea, thought maybe had a set of wheels that looked similar sorry for asking...

No its cool I was planning on just using them I just thought that others might have stumbled upon a set of wheels in a different kit that would better suit my project. I wasnt trying to belittle your opinion at all, I really appreciate your help!

Oh damn,if the RPF1's weren't so small...
They are a sort of a nice starting point,so if you don't mind them being a little small...

I remember seeing you in older threads,but I didn't knew this board when you were 'active'...
So,welcome back,eh?

Now start doing something! LOL,Just kidding! :p

Maybe the tuner wheels from a Revell RSX? I remember they are 6x2 spokes and are quite large.

Just saw that kit at the shop today and there are two sets, one set of spokes that kinda of swirl and another set that are similar to my wheels just the spoke spacing is too large for this build. Thanks for the heads up though appreciate it!!! I think I am just going to be modifying the revell civic wheels just need to find some decent tires and not some rubber bands
