Do they come with metal wheels or are they plastic?

And what about the tires? Are they rubber?

Payaso I think I can answer your question...

The HW 100% series has the most awesome wheels on 1:64 diecast..THe rim is plastic and the tire is rubber(but it's a bit hard...no grip:()...but the rims are so awesome...and another bad thing is that if you buy one of them is a so cool little model that you might not want to tear it appart...lot's of details great paint and great quality....for about 10$ I think...

Hope I helped a bit!

hmm.
my brother is a mechanical engineer nerd guy. he builds cranes. he knows people wif machane chops mang.

i made my mom get him a clone for xmas. with a little coaxing and some money to pay the guy with the laithe i bet we could get these made. also he lives in toledo which aint far from annarbor where tinyrc lives.(easy distribution)

he would either need a cad drawing or a sample so he can draw it up. doing the tires for it i dono bout that.

if you are at least semi serious ill talk to him.

If you or hogjowlz think there's a possibility of this really happening, I'll tear a set off my car and send em to you for a sample to do the laithe work. All the rims only come in two shapes. 3 regular rims and one with the nub for opposite the gear in back. If you can also figure out a way to do the photo etched hubs that they bring, I'll send those also... Let me know...

ill try to get hold of him tonight.

someone is gona have to pay to have it done. i have no clue what its gona run you to do but im sure its gona be expensive for the first one and pennies for each after. the center things i dono if thats his dept or you can find something to rig yourself. ill send him the link to all this crap tho.

so how does your ride perform with thes on? faster slower? easier to steer?

actually the center things i think i know a guy who could do that. he casts pins(motorcycle shaped) so im sure he could do that.

Alright pimps and pimpettes, I've gone an done it.

I'm gearing up on the tools and how-tos...That's just the rims though, that's only 1 out of 3

The tires should only be a matter of making molds.

That etched sheet is the bitch of the bunch though, I'm off to figure out the deal on that.
