Gidday,

I am wanting to have a crack at scratch building a 1:43 scale chassis for a diecast body I have.

Armed with gobs of info from the internet about using iceblock sticks and hotglue, intitial planning shows it will work fine, but I need some advice on rims and tyres.

The car has small wheels and small wheel arches, and I am looking for a wheel / rim combo with an overall outside diameter of around 15mm....

Any style is fine, and preferably something I can purchase locally like from here...

Thanks for your help.

Drew,I know you have just started in slots so my advice will be short and sweet...dump 1/43 and get into 1/32.
The 1/32 world is a much bigger,better and more rewarding one.

regards.

Drew - You should come over one weekend with the family, and see some of our tracks and cars in action

Munter - his avatar momentarily flashes some kind of error message - but it was gone too quick for me to read it; then that dissolves into a picture of a midnight blue BMW 745 parked outside my house. I dunno HOW he managed to get that picture when I haven't even bought the car ......... yet...........
