Found one off the Letgo app, not far from me, only $40 I think. Also looking for the Ford Louisville kit to build a crew cab Kodiak that I picked up couple years ago. But where does everyone get tires/wheels from?? Seems the trend is like the real world, gawdy ugly ass wheels with rubber bands for tires. I've found a couple sites, but don't give very good descriptions. One place ordered some "big" offroad tires, the tires in stock kits were bigger, wtf. I've checked bout every link below, gonna order some and see what they are.

If you have any MPC Chevy Custom kits, you are sitting on a gold mine. The AMT kits are also worth a mint now, but can find deals on rare occasions, I got a glue bomb for $40. Promo models, fugitaboutit.
