stitchdup Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 For me its not so much about the wheel brand thats included but it would be nice to see 3 wheel options in kits again but updated to more modern versions. for example the 3 that would get me to pick a kit over another would be stock wheels, era correct aftermarket wheels and a set of modern style aftermarket wheels. With how popular pro touring is its surprising how few kits there are of the style. visually a lot of them are stock body with aftermarket wheels so including them opens up another style without having to spend a fortune in the aftermarket. Obviously this wouldn't be for every kit but it could bring younger builders to the marketplace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I would like to see more two piece wheels so it is easy to have a chrome rim with a colored center. Some kits do have these but I would like to see more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C. Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) Not a wheel but if AMT puts those pad printed Firestone Wide Ovals (like the ones in the Surfer van kit) in a parts pack like the once did with the Polyglas pack, I would be all over multiple sets.

Mike C. Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Whooo! Thats pretty big. I read somewhere American came out with them in 1968. The curved spokes were meant to clear the disk brakes on the Corvettes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollySipper Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 How about some Centerline Champs? They were in a few kits back when this wheel was popular, but I don't believe they were since..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C. Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Casey makes these. These look exactly like the American Racing Gambler wheel. I had a set of these on my Toyota pickup, but they were 6 lug /6 hole. Good looking wheel. https://www.ebay.com/itm/324518902361?hash=item4b8ed57a59:g:pNYAAOSwPv9gS9vH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revell is bringing the 39 Chevy back out soon so these might be on the shelf again shortly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
