sm1995 Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 As the topic states, looking for opinions on what vendor carries the best custom 1:8 scale wheels for supercars. Not too fussy on the designs, but looking for flexibility in colors mostly. Preferably looking for injection molded parts instead of 3D printed as well. Quote
Alex Ilea Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 I have seen some on Aliexpress, but nothing super cool. The vendor that I use is BrickVisions. I have bought a couple of sets and they just look awesome and feel like superb quality. To be noted that the rim is slightly bigger (maybe 2mm) in diameter than the official Lego ones, so the tire is streched a little. The connection pins are nice, but I could see them falling off if you make a super fast RC car. They are ever so slightly less grippy than the Lego counterpart. Quote
sm1995 Posted October 24, 2023 Author Posted October 24, 2023 Cool, that sounds great! Thanks for the pointer Quote
nerdsforprez Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 I know this is somewhat frowned upon here, but on FB there are large groups dedicated towards more shelf-queen presentation of MOCs and official builds. Chroming or offering new wheel sets are a big deal. If you just do a simple search you will find some, but also b/c FB algorithm you will then be presented with a near infinite array of ads thereafter. Here is just one example: http://bubul.unasshop.com/spl/909883/Wheel?infinite_page=2 Also, you may consider to reach out to @Lox Lego. He probably would be a good contact given he does so many builds with custom and chromed parts. Especially wheel sets. Quote
