Checkout the 'Aftermarket' links under the 'Links' page. My personal favorite wheels are from here:

Hey, I too searched forever to find custom wheels for modding and have found there just isnt much out there. Ebay is a great place to look but the selection is minimal. I ended up researching how to cast parts and make resin duplicates. The result is that I make a lot of replicas from many of my existing cars. it does require time, patience and eventually requires a set of donor wheels & tires.

here is an example.
Image
The S Class Sedan in the front has a set of resin cast wheels I made from the original wheels on the Absolute Hot Silver SL63 AMG in the background. The original weels from the S Class are actually underneath the replicas on the S Class sedan...they were just heavily modified and shaved down. The resin casts I make are essentially "hubcaps". Even so, most people assume the wheels where storebought.

I do and I will contact you. The reason I have not been active in advertising is that I am way behind on the models I have to build for people and I am trying to catch up. I also have to do some other stuff to re-launch my website, which is not functioning right now. I just made molds for 5 new wheels.
I truly understand believe me. You know where to find me :deal:

Stay away from Screetoy!!!!
He has taken a lot of people for their money without delivering. He was even banned from some forums for that. This facebook page also is his second one, since the first one he created got filled with angry and negative comments.
Better safe than sorry, I guess.

I would love to see what you have to offer Lucky13 and pricing. Always interesting in different wheel designs for my cars.

I would like to see Lucky13's offerings for wheels once he's ready to advertise. And I think they are also metal not resin, no? If so, thats a bonus.
