Found them thanks. Pretty reasonable price! 
La Mille Maglia Porsche Hardcore motorcycle design 1/6 scale
- Thread starter Toutenkarton
- Start date
I start with the central ring
it lacks a little shape but with the next segment everything will fall into place
the position of the print is important but I'm not telling you anything new
alternating gluing of successive strips
the same thing on the other side and the tire will be finished
That's it for today.

That looks really good. You did a great job with lining up the tread texture.
You have nailed the tires (oops no nails) so again. I love the way you have put your tires together the are really looking fantastic..

Very well done tire If you had cut out the black strips that represent the tread, and glued a pice behind (black), when the tire was finished, you could paint it with Liquid Electrical Tape, and that tire looks real, then you realize the groves are far too large, and you do it over again with smaller slits. It works as a graphics as there is no depth.
I just went for a ride on my Suzuki yesterday, I blew the Generator Stator coil and the voltage regulator/rectifier. Had to flat bed the motorcycle home. It costs only around $200 bucks in parts, and the last parts lasted 20 years, so I'm still ahead of the curve.

The tires came out great. That's one of those features that can really make a model, and you have done them justice. They have that oh so necessary rubber look to them.
I present to you the continuation and end of the construction of the motorcycle that I built urgently because of a triggered thumb which has severely handicapped me in recent weeks.
Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of the assembly but here are close-ups of the different parts.
The left side of the rear wheel
The rear wheel axle and belt
The other side
The engine decorated on the left side
The gearbox installed
The other side of the gearbox with the covers and belts
The license plate with the stand
The headlight
and the poses of the finished motorcycle which is 1/6 scale and is 19.685 inches (50 cm) long
I will of course continue the detailed tutorial on the wheels as soon as I can use my thumb again, which will not be long since I just had an infiltration this morning.

I am sorry that you are having issues with your thumb. I hope that you make a strong and speedy recovery.

Hand issues are such a drag. I have Neuropathy issues in both hands from my neck spinal cord debacle.
These bigger than life pictures show an excellently built motorcycle. It makes me want to make this model. It's on my bucket list. Excellent craftsmanship on display.

My thumb is feeling better, the pain is mostly gone. A few more days and I will be able to continue the tutorial...
Thank you for your kind words.
I had fun building this bike, even though it was difficult, and I think I'll do it again with an ultra-realistic Yamaha in the near future...
