  - Used to be able to get those wheels and tires from Big Donkey Resin. I forget who bought his business...but am not sure that person is doing the wheels and tires. *NM*
    - Mike’s decals bought Big D Resins . Looks like they are offering an assortment of their tires, wheels, and bodies *NM*
      - yeah...that's him! I knew they were doing bodies. Just wasn't sure about wheels and tires. Thanks! *NM*
        
        W-1 or W-2 wheels from Mike's Decals would work, Mike L. D-1 tire for RR, D-2 tire for LR and RF, D-10 tire for LF. In any event, LF would always be the smallest tire, RR always the biggest tire. *NM*
