JollySipper Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Hi, guys........ Anyone know of a kit that has these wheels? Thanks.................!!
mike 51 Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) You can get those hubcaps from the AMT 32 kits,but the wheels are awful. No kit has really nice Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels unfortunately. Edited July 9, 2015 by mike 51
JollySipper Posted July 9, 2015 Author Posted July 9, 2015 That's too bad, really wanted a decent set for a project.......... Thanks, guys...!
mike 51 Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) Replicas and Minatures of Maryland makes a pretty nice set but they're pricey. ($30 If I recall correctly) Edited July 9, 2015 by mike 51
blunc Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 the monogram 30 ford woody is the only kit I know of that has decent looking wheels like that but it's 1/24 scale.
JollySipper Posted July 9, 2015 Author Posted July 9, 2015 Thank you for the replies, guys........ blunc, was the model you pictured later released as a GoodGuys Street Rod?
afx Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Replicas and Minatures of Maryland makes a pretty nice set but they're pricey. ($30 If I recall correctly) $40 actually, but you get a lot for the money. I have seen these built up and they are fantastic!
BMXNBULLDOG Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 I've been looking for a set of the rmcm kelsey hayes wire wheels but rmcm doesn't supply them anymore unfortunately. I want a set real bad for a sedan project I want to do. I have all the kits that come with wires and none are real good, spokes too big and out of proportion. Having a hard time coming up with something other then rewiring the wheels. I do have a couple sets of Detail Master wire wheels but they are more of a bonnelli?? style i think. Let us know what you find. AFX is that your set? Want to trade or sell? PM me.

Art Anderson Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 The wire wheels offered by Kelsey Hayes for Chrysler 300 letter cars 1955-57 or 58 were very similar in spoke pattern to what K-H offers today, but they ARE much different than the Ford "Welded Steel Wheels" used from 1932-35, in three different rim diameters. The old gnarly AMT '32 Ford wire wheels do have a correct spoke pattern, for that era car, even though they are 3 scale inches too small in diameter for a stock Deuce--AMT used 15" tires on all their V8 Ford kits back in the day (still there), while the actual wheel for a Deuce is 18".
