Wow. Outstanding work. Can't wait for it to take off so you can move to buggy wheels also. :wink:

Guys these will be available in the near future, I am working out the bugs with my machine right now. Once the machine is ready, I will be machining more of these.

Other designs are absolutely possible and pretty easy to do. PM me with what you may have in mind so I don't clog up this thread.

Any possibility of doing a few sets for 1/12? I can send you a set of wheels and a rear hub to keep so you can check dimensions. I will definitely want a set of the 1/10 beauties!

How about something like this for a rear? The center part that is. This actually looks close to a stock RC12E rear wheel.

And this for a front?

I just like the design of the center part on those wheels. I think they would look sharp on a standard wide width RC12E wheel. Seeing those 1/8 Traxxis wheels gives me an idea for another project I've been kicking around in my head. :mrgreen:

I am sure I could do something like that on a small run. Will send a PM.

I am sure there are quite a few members that would be interested in a set of 1/12 wheels. (Myself included) My 12L is from late 87.

I posted this in another thread, but if BRM can do 1/24 for slot cars, certainly someone can do a proper period correct 1980s set of BBS wheels for various cars, including Tamiya and Associate. PLEASE:

I'd be down for ANY 1/12's, I did draw the BBS wheels a little while ago to make wheel caps for my rc12 Jag, I don't know if my vector art file would help out or not? It looks like this...

Are these wheels machined by hand or do you use a CNC machine?
