Jairus Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Henry, the Detail Master wheels come in two types, Italian and generic American type of spokes. The American type is nothing like early pre war Ford wheels and cannot be modified as such, looking more like a 70's Appliance like aftermarket wheel. The kits are made up as aluminum rims and an aluminum hub with photoetched spokes and photoetched knockoff "wings". The Italian type kits build up into beautiful example of Borranni type wheels. Oh, and the rims can be found in two widths. Some kits have all wide rims and some mixed with wide and narrow and of course some come with all 4 narrow. So be careful before you buy that you know what your getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
