I used the Toyota inserts for this Mazda 787, painted the rear centers gold and removed the tampo printing from the fronts, these are in BRM wheels.
I started this ScaleAuto chassis for an IMSA Probe body. Used the BRM / BBS inserts from the Porsche.
Then a while back I built a Toyota 88 CV model on a SLP1700 Plafit and used the BRM Toyota inserts again, naturally. This was just the centers glued into the Plafit wheels, no trim ring.
Kinda flat lookin...pun intended.
So after some experience with the ProComp 3 tires, my pal Rick and I decided to re-fit our PlaFit cars with those.
I pulled out my old wheel insert kit leftovers and turned the beauty rings to fit inside the ScaleAuto rims,
Then I drilled the brake hub centers to 11/64" and painted the back side gold.
Next I drilled the wheel centers, also 11/64"
Using tiny dabs of canopy glue to keep it all in the wheel. It all came together to make the car look much better.
I just wish you could buy the beauty rings separately. Since the BRM fronts don't require a separate ring you need to buy two kits to do a car such as the ScaleAuto or use the BRM fronts,that's not always an option.
