3D Printed Model Rims

[Rocky75]

I've been a lurker on the forums for a while but I wanted to share this project as I think its a worthwhile contribution. I bought the Maisto 1:18 model of my 2015 GT so I could place it on my desk when my car is all the way in the parking lot. I have added pieces to it as I add them to my car, hood stripes, black roof, etc. The piece that bothered me most is that the model had the PP rims and my car doesn't, so I decided to do something about it. After all was said and done and I bought a 3d printer to complete this project, I should have just bought PP rims for my car lol

There is a fella here around town that is 3D printing engines. First one he did was a boxer engine. Anyway guy is making a killing selling them to dealers and other companies for ease of training.

Side note - nice to see another good "home" use for 3D printing.

The one thing I dislike about my Maisto is the rims don't match either. I have the 18" Foundry 5 spokers. :-(

Nice job! Those were my second favorite wheels (well third) just after to the 50th LE and then the 50th APP on the 2015. You did a great job of recreating them, looks fantastic!

That looks great!

I was lucky that I was able to get a Race Red S550 with Performance Pack wheels to match mine!
