Screw this flat surface stuff, I'm trying to mod these things for tougher terrain, y'know like my carpet.
I'll post pics as soon as the project is finished.

How does this look?
This is the perfect width for these things. These will also lower your car a little. After I get the mold produced for these slicks with tread, I'm going to add the knobbies. The S2000 has plenty of room for the front tires. It's the only MS I have, so are there others with smaller wheel wells that might conflict with these?

Holy cow those rims and tires rule.

Not yet. That's what I have to tweak when making the molds. Might try a few different rubber alternatives to find the best one.
Glad you like them cos' I really love them. I can't wait to take two sets of back tires and put them on my Zips.

I'd buy them as they are but
if you can soften up they'd be even better.
looking very good did you mold the rims? or are they off another toy?

Rims are off another car. Those will be very easy to mold and I plan on changing them for legal reasons. Width will remain the same. These won't be ready for sell for atleast a few weeks. If I can't make the tires to my liking, I won't sell them to anyone. That's not going to happen though. I have some liquid rubber and other alternatives on the way. I'll keep everyone posted.

Dude there is no legality in making the eaxct same parts. Unless those items are patented (come on tiny plastic wheels?) you are in the clear.
Any chance i can be a first (PAYING) guinea pig for them?
I have the skyline history set, MS skyline, bB open deck, and multiple axles. Plus a zip zap and 2 clones.

have you looked at the monster machines? they have kinda cool wheels. the rubber on the tires is pretty hard. but they do have larger size tires, on the rear of the car... not larger rims. just big fat tires. they have these at target, walmart.... only 2-3 dollars.

import tunerz
yeah i picked up a few muscle machine import tuners in hopes of swiping the wheels i am pretty sure i could use em but the tires on them are so hard they're more like plastic than rubber. but it'd look good.
stridex also can i ask what car those wheels came from i have someone looking into working on a custom body for me and those rims would be PERFECT!!

Wow Stridex, they are looking good. Keep up the good work.
I'm still running the turbohopper tires. Let me know if you need one to make a mold out of.
Also what are you using to mold them? Is there a machine I missed at my local shop? Lemme know.

Very good to know. Didn't know for sure.
I'm going to go down the list of this thread and offer the trial prices to the first 6 or so. Looks like you'll be in that group.

I got it from Micro-Mark. They have all kinds of kits. Here's their starter kit. They can do as large as you want. The bigger you go the more money it'll cost is all. You can make car bodies with this kit. Make sure to get the videos and online tutorials. Those will help a lot.
http://www.dxmarket.com/micromark/products/82698.html
I no longer have the packaging for the car, but I can tell you I bought it at WalMart. It's an older style car. Almost Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang'ish. It's a convertable with red sides and a white hood and trunk. If I had to guess from memory, it's a muscle machine brand car. Not certain.
The Import tuners rims and tires are too low. The chassis will rub in the rear. Probably why we haven't seen too many people attempt them. If you can fit tires on them, that's the way to go! Those rims are sweeet!
I'm going to let you guys in on all the secrets to molding and creating these yourself. It's not about the money with me. If you want a set, great! I'll make them for you, but if you want to learn how to do it yourself, even better. I'll always answer any questions you have.
