Trying to track down a set of wheels/tyres for a Tonka Jeep Gladaitor ute I'm doing up for my son. Needs to be about 1.6" - 1.7" OD.

Could turn wheels up if I found some tyres, but trying to avoid doing something crazy like making a mould and casting them in sikaflex or punching them out of conveyer...

Where do people get their wheels and tyres? US ebay and google haven't really given me much

There are a few hobby shops around that specialise in radio controlled cars and the like

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationThanks guys - Swishy you were right my search was too restrictive. Ended up going for these - look very detailed and will fill the wheel arches just right. I guess I'll turn some steel wheels up.

Here's what I'm working with, the Tonka name tag suggests it's 1962-1969

Well they look ok IMO. Had to bore the centre out and turned some wheels up but pretty pleased with them. Paint job's crap though - shouldn't have been impatient and used primer. It'll get abused by my young sons though so no point being perfect.
