WPL RC Toyota Rims
Description
I wanted my WPL C24 to have the OEM Rims from 1988 because this is what I had on one my first trucks back in the day. I think I found one available on another site, but I didn't want to pay for them, so I just whipped one up on my computer and tried to make it look as close to the real thing as possible. They look way better than what originally came with the truck, so if you want to have something different, try these out! I designed them to fit the original rubber tires that come with the truck, except they are a little bit wider than the original which I think actually helps it look even better. They are a slightly tighter fit around the inner tire, but they will fit. This design is also different in that the rim bolts to a hub that goes onto the axle. The original way they went on was with a single screw down the middle holding them on, but I wanted to have 6 bolts mounting it on to give it a more realistic look. I designed 2 different sizes. The short one keeps the tires more tucked in, and the longer one stanced them out further. I'd say try both and decide what you like best. These hubs have cutouts for 6x M2 Nuts to fit in the back and the rim is bolted down with 6 M2 screws all around. I'm sure putting on some M2 Allen bolts would make it look pretty nice. The center hole of the rim will likely be a little tight at first since I wanted to make sure the printer didn't miss printing the very thin layer between the bolt holes, but that can likely be cleaned up with a drill bit or Dremel tool until the hub fits through it. And if you don't want to deal with the 6 x M2 bolts and nuts, you can just merge the two parts together in your slicer and create them as one. This only took me a few hours to design, and it is not by any means accurate to the original rims. I am certain there are other/ better designs out there to pick from. But if you are lazy like me but also want something better than the original rims, feel free to try these out! Feel free to leave a comment/ suggestion if you would like something added or changed. I could edit some stuff when I get the time. Let me know what you think. Thanks!
