I'm not sure where to post but I would like some help identifying this wheel. I think it could be from an older molded in color model and maybe Monogram? Also I'm guessing it's 1/24 kinda looks bigger. Thank for any help...  here are some pics...

The Revell Ford Thunderbolt has wheels like that.  Right off the top of my head, I can't think of any other kits with them.

I thought they were from the thunderbolt also, So I compared them to one from that kit and it's bigger. Also not molded in burgundy like the original thunderbolts were. This wheel is molded in redish-orange. Yes I think they look like the old Radir rims from the 60's. Did Rocket make them? I only have one of them is the bad thing and it appears to be the front. I'd love to see the rear wheels and the kit they came in...

When I saw the backside, I thought maybe it was resin. Thus a copy, though I have no idea from what.

I can't think of anything that was molded in burgundy, but both JoHan and Monogram used a lot of odd colors.

Radirs are also in the AMT Fireball 500 custom Barracuda, IIRC.

The front and rear wheels were different sizes.  The first issue 'Bolts were molded in burgundy (Tasca Ford) and also red-orange (Gas Ronda/Russ Davis Ford).  Both were issued around the same time.
