I've been looking high and low for wire wheels for an upcoming project and have been unable to find them................until now. I was browsing through another forum and found a thread that dealt with just this concern. Evidently there's a guy named Curt Raitz who is now making and selling these things and man do they look the part. They are called "TruWires" and are made out of stainless wire spokes and machined aluminum rims and hubs and sell for $25 plus shipping. So if anybody is looking for a set of wire spoke front dragster wheels this will probably be your ticket. I know I'm gonna give it a shot.

Hey Iceman, I'm looking forward to seeing the wheels n tyres your developing, it's about time someone produced a correct scale Dayton ! Revell ones are around 15" so it would be great to get some in scale !
