Some of you learned about my plans of making a scale model of my ride. One of the most difficult aspects of this was to find the most accurate set of wheels available to match my 19x9.5 HP Racing Evos.

Im currently waiting on a set of 1/24 scale BBS wheels that a member kindly offered to send. I was able to score a similar set of such wheels from a local friend of mine and converted one of these to a deep lip configuration. Im happy how it turned out but would feel a whole lot more comfortable once the other set wheels arrives by mail just in case I mess up the ones I have! LOL!

So, what you think?

This is just the beginning! I will paint the wheels to closely match the 1:1 on my car. If there is enough interest I will keep updating the thread as the build continues.

Just finished converting the wheels to a deep dish look. Here is a quick mock up to see more or less its final appearance. So far it resembles the look of my car.

A little too aggressive on the dish but interested in seeing the final product.

+1 Awesome build, but if you are going through this much trouble to make it accurate, I wouild do the lips to scale. Unless you are going for that Dub City model look, which may still be cool.

I usually run out of patience, or (i or someone else) unintentionally break something drastically important any time i do a model - so i end up hulk-smashing them out of frustration.
So, i congratulate you on getting that far.

Thanks!

Scale LS1 to match mine, notice the custom power steering pulley and the Metco breather. Also I added the spark plug cables.

This is gnarly. I would not have the patience to work on something so small. Good job! ha ha

AMT made LT1 formulas but not a 98-02. As far as I have seen, it's only the 98-02 WS6 Trans Am that's offered. I want to build a copy of my SGM formula but a front bumper is going to be a tough one. I even searched resin companies and no one shows one so far.

Wheels were painted (PITA!) and it starting to look like something familiar.
