Re: C6R 06 wheels

The problem with the SMS wheel set is there are too many turned parts to produce just turned rims. The cost per wheel set would be $75 and I'm sure nobody wants to pay that. Then you may say how about resin? The utterly poor design by Revell makes it tough to do in resin as well. You can't just use the SMS wheels as a master and cast them in resin it wouldn't work without some re-design. I guess all those factors are enough reason for Matthew to not do them. But I agree with all of you in that SMS should find a way to do the Rims in resin. But you would be stuck with the crappy brake disc and caliper from the Revell kit.
