More accurate OZ wheels for 1/18 Greenlights?

[danny]

Hi all,

I haven't seen anything posted, but I'm in agreement with the comments over the years that the OZ wheels on the Greenlight cars are pretty bad. Is there a better and more accurately-designed wheel out there that someone made in CAD and can 3D print? Anyone had luck using a 1/18 OZ wheel from a different diecast manufacturer (Action, etc) on the Greenlight cars?

Thanks for any input,

Danny

I've never seen anything on Shapeways. Site has some parts, but i don't ever recall seeing a replacement.

Sorry for the delay, I had a hiccup with the company that prints my parts. See below link

Thank you for bringing back back those Dallara speedway rear set ups. I will be getting some of those.

Ordered! This is great! Anxious to try them out - thank you for making these available!

Any tips on finishing/painting outside of the norm? Figured I'd remove as many of the layer lines as possible and then apply several coats of primer before using the Molotow chrome paint pens.

Hey Danny, been out of town, so mailing today. Thank you for the support!

These are ABS-printed material, so you can smooth with acetone. Here's a below link:

That being said, I have not tried a bath yet, but I have dipped a Q-Tip in Acetone-based Nail Polish Remover and running it around the top 'lip' about 4-5 times and it really smoothed it nicely, no sanding needed.
