Hi friends,

Where can I find wheels and tires for 1/12 street cars?

Doyusha, Otaki, Monogram, Revell, Tamiya, etc...

Thanks:smokin:

Yeah, not too much about....as I discovered.....:confused:
If you are REAL lucky, there were some very old remote control cars in 1/12, but most these days are 1/10...and way too big. :headshake

I started making my own, scratch built entirely from plastic, they WILL be available SOON.....IN RUBBER ! :smile: :cool:

These are roughly scaled at 16 inch. Rims will be 16 x 9.5 and 16 x 8 inch, tyres are 225/45 and 265/45 approximately. :smile:
They are going on my Datsun, but also fit snuggly under the 1/12 Camaro.. :cool:
If you like them, stay tuned for an upcoming release date.....

Yeh they look great. Really sucks there are no aftermarket companies that produce 1/12 wheels.

I hope hiroboy releases some wheels like he stated in the past. Unfortunatley there isn't too many 1/12 models out there for a demand for wheels.

Hey, friend! Thank you very much for the information, is fantastic. Just yesterday, coincidentally, I was looking at information on Google about tires 1 / 12 and EUREKA! FOTKI found your space.
I saw the pictures of your work and are unbelievable. You are the king of scratch build. Very good, very good!

Your project's Datsun 1 / 12 is very interesting, and I have added your space FOTKI my favorite websites. I also have the 1 / 12 Tamiya's Datsun 240Z, so follow your project as reference.:smooch:

Best regards!

Ed
