About Us

Our History

Hobby Wheels was founded by an avid model car enthusiast who built his first model car in the early 1950s.  It was one of the original Revell Highway Pioneer's Ford Model T kits. Since then he has built hundreds of model cars. Over the years. like many of us, he struggled to find the models, tools, and accessories needed for his hobby from one single source.  He was tired of online retailers and hobby shops who knew nothing about the model cars they sold or the prototypes they represent. He realized that the model car hobby needed one source that could serve the needs of his fellow modelers. Hobby Wheels was founded to offer you, the model car enthusiasts, a great place to shop for all of your model cars, trucks and motorcycles. 

Our Competitive Advantage

We are a small business.  Each and every order is important to us.  You will not call us and get passed around a call center - you will get straight answers and honest hobby advice from folks who are excited about the products and services they sell.  We want to develop relationships with our customers - you are not just another number in a database to us.  

We have relationships with all major hobby distributors and have access to the most in-demand hobby goods. This provides us with one of the largest inventories of model cars and accessories available in the marketplace. If we don't have what you need, our team will track it down for you.  Can't find that rare car kit?  Can't get that obscure filter for your spray booth?  Our customer service team will find it.  All you have to do is call us and we'll do the rest.  Need to buy in bulk - give us a call, we will work something out.  We are here to be your partners.

Our goal at Hobby Wheels is to give you the best price we can while still delivering great service.  The price you see on our website is the same price you will pay on any day - regardless of whether it's a holiday or a weekend.  Our pricing is consistent so our customers can trust that they will always get a fair and competitive deal.
