1:1 Ultra Hots Rims?
Found via Diecast Media Network on YT. If not these, which Mattel rims would you install on your ride?

FTE
edit: added picture of a dune buggy I owned. If I still had it I would have had the 5 spoke wheels powder coated in a brass/chrome finish to simulate FTE wheels. I'd also add a couple TH flames to the graphics.
- I think a scaled up alloy OH5 or FTE would have structural problems. — GspeedR
- I dunno, I added a picture of my old dune buggy with 5 spoke wheels. Although not as thin as FTEs they would provide a similar appearance — ChiefWopahoo
Not really a fan of the Ultra Hot wheel design in general - they look like cheap hubcaps IMHO. However the flat smooth surface makes it a bit easier to get whatever lube you're using into the wheel hub. No desire to put them on a real car.
Just hopped over to the good old Fandom Wiki and searched "wheel types". Damn there's been a lot of em! There's more than a few I wouldn't mind having 1:1. Also quite a number that you can actually get pretty close to for your real ride. If I had to request just one I'd stick with the traditional BW. It's the one that was on most of my collection growing up and pretty much everybody would recognize it.
- 1. I spend far more time on that wiki page than anything else on the site, yes it's HUGE 2. I also wonder if in real life people must use low profile tyres with the rims offered, just to match the visual scale of diecast — Chris_Hood
I want skull ones
I'd take out an equity loan, lol

- My last bike was Harley Road King black with a subtle skull theme - that’s the ticket — AbbyNormal
