I've always admired the Design Studio '30s Ford Street rods but never owned them mainly because many of them are very expensive and it was difficult to make my own because wheels and tires were almost impossible to find. Until recently. I located a seller in California called 3D Scale Parts. They make an extensive line of wheels and tires in all scales 3 D printed.Yes, they are not metal wheels and rubber tire but they look fantastic and are very convincing. My first order of 1/43 wheels & tires didn't quite work out. Although they were 1/43 scale, they were too small for my build. I contacted the company and they were glad to replace them if I provided them the correct dimensions.I did so and voila, a perfect fit. Therefore, if you order, do not take for granted that the scale will be a perfect fit. Provide them with out side dimensions. I am using these tire & wheels on a Brooklin 1937 Buick Slantback custom rod. Below are some pictures of the wheels & tires as well as how they will look on the Brooklin.

Thank-you for the info as to the company. I'm sure we could all benefit from using them.

Thanks John. After I posted this I realized that the new form would have been a better place to post this. I'll try to keep this in mind for future postings.
