Wheel Buddy – Articulating Figurine
Bring a spark of personality to your shop, office, or toolbox with the Wheel Buddy — a fully articulating figurine designed for mechanics, car enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates clever gear-head décor.
Each Wheel Buddy features your choice of eight detailed rim designs, available in Gold, Silver, or Bronze. The tire remains a classic black rubber-look finish, giving the figure a clean and realistic aesthetic.
Add a personal touch with laser-engraved text — a name, shop title, or short phrase (up to 30 characters including spaces). It’s the perfect way to create a unique gift or custom mascot for your workspace.
Handcrafted in the Geeps Makes Workshop
Every Wheel Buddy is created using high-resolution 3D printing, then carefully cleaned, finished, and assembled by hand. Minor variations are normal and part of the charm, making each figure truly one-of-a-kind.
Durable, display-ready, and irresistibly fun — it’s a great conversation starter for counters, desks, garages, and tool carts.
Available Sizes
Choose the size that fits your display:
-
3″ — Compact and fun
-
4″ — A great all-around choice
-
6″ — Extra detail and presence
-
8″ — A bold showpiece for any shop (requires an additional day to print and may delay shipping)
Rim Color Options
Every rim design can be ordered in:
-
Gold
-
Silver
-
Bronze
These are color finishes created with high-quality Silk PLA filament — not actual metal — giving each rim a clean, metallic-style appearance.
Rim Options & Add-Ons
Every Wheel Buddy includes one rim, in whichever style and color you select from the dropdown menus.
If you’d like extra rims — whether different styles, different colors, or both — you can add them using the add-on options during checkout. Additional rims are fun to swap, collect, or display, and they fit any Wheel Buddy of the same size.
Personalization (Optional)
Add a laser-engraved name or phrase (up to 30 characters). The engraving uses a bold lettering style inspired by the classic look of BF GOODRICH text — but rest assured, this is not one of their tires and is not affiliated with any tire manufacturer.
Your engraving will appear exactly as you enter it, including uppercase, lowercase, or mixed-case formatting.
A Fun Gift for Any Gear-Head
From mechanics to hobbyists and automotive enthusiasts, the Wheel Buddy makes a memorable and unique gift. Add one to your workspace, tool cart, or display shelf — or collect multiple rim styles for a full lineup.
Whether you’re customizing a workspace, gifting a fellow gear-head, or collecting multiple rim styles for display, the Wheel Buddy is designed to add personality anywhere it goes. Every figure is crafted with care in our workshop to bring you quality, creativity, and a touch of fun.
About the Makers
Geeps Makes is a husband-and-wife workshop run by “Geeps” and “Grams,” the names lovingly given to us by our grandkids. Together, we design and build every item using a blend of modern tools — 3D printing, laser engraving, CNC machining, and UV printing. While materials may come from around the world, each piece is crafted, finished, and assembled by our own hands in our home workshop. We take pride in creating fun, well-made items that bring a little personality to your workspace.
