Steve, hope you don't take this as putting hot sauce on a gourmet meal, but i kinda made a slight change to wheels to get this look....

Original on the left/lathed down on the right

Gotta make the hubs slightly bigger

Hey Troy you've been busy! The cattle trailer's new, and what's that lurking on the shelf underneath sporting white budd rims?

Ok now bare with me, we all know I'm slow, what nuts are you all talking about. If I gather this right. Are the hubs in the above pictures the axle nuts?

Next thing. and please don't kill me for this, this is just my OCD that we all know I have showing it's ugly head again.. so here goes. Why do you have a driven axle hub on a non-driven axle.?

Steve, that could be something you could come up with, make a trailer hub/nut that looks like an inboard hub oil cap.

Troy that cattle wagon looks great and it also fits behind that Texas flag beautifully. this thing is going to look awesome when you get it done and all polished out. Ya going to put lots of light on it

Mmmm look at them wheels. It amazes me that not one single r/c parts manufacturer is able to produce what one man and his workshop is able to do, 100% accurate tractor truck wheels.
