I have a couple set of parts box finds, that I do not know the kit source.

The first set have a 60s hot rod/racer look, but the directional aspect kind of throws me. I am not sure if these are a complete set, or a two sets of the same "side" or direction.

For the wire wheels, are they custom, or "make" specific, like Pontiac? Again, kit source would be interesting. SAM_0687.thumb.JPG.fac0ae82df49f219f8d45

Top set are Halibrands from the Accurate Miniature Corvette Grand Sport.  Bottom set, I think are Kelsey Hayes and I am not sure what kit(s) they are included in.

The Cobra wheels have holes in the center caps for the quick-release spinners; these wheels appear to have a center cap/no hole.

Those are Kelsey-Hayes Stripper mags. Not wires, just look like them. Built 1969-72

15x6, COPO on Yenkos. Rare.

66 Mercury has them, I have a set from another kit too I can't recall.

The '66 Mercury, '53 Vette and the AMT "Xtasy" and "KISS" custom Chevy vans have Strippers. A buddy of mine had a set on his '72 Vette when he got it.

Thanks so much for the info everyone! I really liked the Kelsey-Hayes as wire wheels but can see some other uses now. As for the Halibrands, great looking wheels, just wish they were directional per side. It always seems like one side is backwards.
