Okay...someone gave me a set as they were leaving our company that seems to
have some that might be just right.  I found a link to the set, the Nitro
Bike GTX500, here on Lugnet: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/8210

No balloons (I agree, that's probably not the look you wanted)...think these'd
work?  The tires on the (real) Hummer are HUGE.

Good luck - you've inspired me to give something in that scale a shot too!

(...) If they weren't balloon tires, they just might work. But they look silly since they are so wide, and are just a tiny bit too big. Anyway, I only have 1 or 2 of those wheels... Thanks anyway, --Bram Bram Lambrecht bram@cwru.edu (URL) (26 years ago, 23-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)
