I'm sure every body here would be very interested in seeing what you have , I know I am !

Maybe you could just post some pics here instead of a link , not all of us use Instagram .

First let me say I'm sorry about the post. I will load some photos.

I'm Printing second round of prototypes still learing the ropes on the printer.
here a different view for you.

I saw them !! They look great !!

Really like the modern tread pattern too!

[TooOld]

Those are really sharp Jose !
They look quite a bit larger than the stock DW wheels , I'm not sure but they might look better if they had a slightly smaller diameter . . . just my own preference .
Either way , if you make these available count me in for a couple sets !

Count me in Jose ! I can put a pair it 2 to good use ..

Yes they are bigger but they fit the Deals wheels model. I'm working on a set that will be the same size as the Deals wheels models. I just got the printer so make the drawing take time.
I will have them available for those that would like a set. getting the wheels to fit nice take a few prints as the scale changes a little from the drawing to the actual part.

I work a lot out of town a lot so be patient with me and i promise I will have them figured out. I'm still in the design process.

I would love some help with design as far as treated pattern, wheel letting height ( maybe making the fonts not so high from the surface of the sidewall),wheels size preference sock or bigger.

I print them in 2 pieces kind of like the originals ( I will show some photos of this)

I really would like to have some feedback from you experts.

I don't see any problem with them being printed in two pieces . And the lettering height makes painting much easier , if somebody wants them lower a little sanding would be a quick fix . As for the tread they're are so many different patterns I'd think a generic tread like you've done is probably best . . . you'll never please every body no matter how hard you try .

I personally like the fat look you’ve printed .. and as Bob said if someone wants less letter height they can sand .. i they they’re a great touch to the tire and hold much truer to what Dave was trying to get the model companies to shoot for .. these will not only be a great addition for us Deals Wheels builders and kit bashers but a tribute to Dave’s work as well ! As far as tread pattern I see nothing wrong with what you’ve created . A nice fresh change of pace !

Thanks for the feedback guy's. After testing them out on a Deals kit the front are a little to big for the plastic models IMO. I'm working on the deal kit size now.
Wheel size is going to be the same as for the kits. But I don't like the kit wheels so the will be another set available with 1 inch rear wheel size and 3/4 in front.
I will also have wheels for these.

I have been watching you guy's build for many years and I will start building some kits soon. Soon LOL
