Thanks Willie. For the life of me I can't remember where the V-treads came from. I know it's a toy...1/32nd I believe. As soon as I find 'em, I'll let you know. Maybe they are castable too.

Thanks Jeff. The axle housing is done, the front & rear hubs are done (no pics yet)...just finishing the top-loader. Here is the 25" inch wheel in the 52" V-tread. It looks good until you see it mocked-up with a pick-up cab. Now be honest...the wheels look too large for a 1/25th scale body, right? ..... Right the wheel is a bit to big.. in my opinion. but you can do it smaller and made a plug for the tire to reduce the ID. I do that with a 1/32 scale bigfoot tire for a buddy of mine. I was thinking of doing one again as soon as I get a 1/32 scale bigfoot in hand. a tips to make bolts circle center and allign. I took a circle template made for drafting as a ijg. I will made a tuto soon about this. yours

Hey Sebastien. I have some of those 1/32nd scale tires. You want one to cast? Would you want one of these to plug and cast? And don't be afraid to say "no".

Larry, I think the rim you made for the V-treads looks fine...if someone were to fit a tire like that on their 1:1 rig, the rim would more than likely be that size anyway...MONSTER!
The 1/32 V-treads I have here (from the USA-1 Chevy) measure out to 51.5" OD, and 22" ID. They are different from the ones you show here as the tread in the middle has very sharp edges, as yours are rounded off there.
If that's the look someone is going for on their model, those would look great! I'll bet people would buy 'em...

Thanks Jeff. The tires are from a toy. I modified the V-tread. I will post a pic of the original with the original wheel. Maybe someone will rcognize it. I think that tire would look great cast with a plug to make the wheel diameter the same as the SoReal wheels.
