GMP440 Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Is there anyone that resin casts the Pontiac five spoke rally wheels?
mikemodeler Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Yes, check out Fireball Modelworks. Joseph has some really nice stuff, is easy to deal with and ships fast!
Mike Chernecki Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 I have a set from Joseph at Fireball Modelworks, they are amazing and even come with wheel masks to paint the spokes.
sfhess Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Scale Equipment Limited make a nice set too.http://www.seltd.net/ez-catalog/X344897/24
john sharisky Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 My preference is for the Scale Equipment LTD wheels also. Rick's set with the separate (already chromed) trim rings have a more correct depth that the MPC wheels never had. John
Snake45 Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Is there anyone that resin casts the Pontiac five spoke rally wheels? Somebody painted those backwards--dark where they should be light, and light where they should be dark.

Robberbaron Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) So did the '86 (?) Grand Prix based 2+2 (NASCAR homologation special). Pretty sure GMP440's picture was from one of those.I also remember seeing mid-to-late 70s Bonnevilles with Rally II's that were body color instead of dark gray, but with the traditional silver highlights. Think some 73-77 Grand Prix's were also equipped that wayBut this is all kind of academic. I get the gist of Snake's post: 99% of modelers are going to want to be painting these in the "traditional" muscle car-era color scheme. Edited July 20, 2017 by Robberbaron
