Cheap Wheel Alternatives(and more)...

[MythosGR]

I was looking new wheels for the Celica GTFour I'm gonna build and I found a cheap way t get new wheels and some extra goodies take a look...

Here are the three wheels.(The black from the CTFour)



Here they are with tires...



And this is the rear view...It need modifiyng but if you are for aftermarket wheel for a Tamyia model you are propably ready for it!



Here are the extra goodies...Real drilled discbrakes(twith a little cuting and sanding you can fit them in the original discbrake and rotors...) and a seatbelt that with the decals provided and some detail paining looks many times better than the Tamyia decaled seatbelts...(Sorry for the bad quality)



Plus a racing seat...

...

And here is how good a seat will look with the decals provided and the detail painting





the solution is Bburago kit cars...They come with these wheels,discbrakes,racing seats and many other thing thaat a modeler could use(fire exting,rollcage,dashboards,decals) for about 10-15 US(when a wheelset costs 10US)...I believe is a good deal...I thought to share it with you...

What you think???

Thats a pretty good I dea, would hever have thought of it. What material is used for the seat belt harness?

It's a thin and very flexible plastic...It has also the correct texture...looks like a real one with paint and decals..

Sounds good then, are those things included in most of the bBurago kits or only certian ones. I have one of the Ferrari 250lm kits but it didnt have anything like that

VW New Beetle Cup and Forcus WRC are to of the best to look for...

The silver painted wheels,and the last seats are form the Focus...
The white wheels and the big bucket with harness is from the beetle...

I found my focus for $6 (U.S.A) so you can get them for much cheaper if you look around. Thanks for sharing.

You did a very good job detailing them.
