Jon Cole Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 I need some wheels that are similar to the "Pumper" wheel design of the late 80's- early 90's Shelby. I want to build what was our car. Found this pic on the intertubes. Doesn't have to be exact; I may have to settle for a five point wide spoke wheel. Know of any?
JollySipper Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 Hey, Jon.......... Mr. Geiger is asking about wheels in this post. The ones on his Geo look very similar to the ones you need.........
Mark Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 dosent the Daytona come with these The AMT/Ertl kit was an earlier Shelby Daytona Turbo Z, which used a different style wheel. Even then, the kit wheels were for a similar-looking non-Shelby version. It's as if the kit were designed as the non-Shelby Turbo version, and they stuck the Shelby name on it at the last minute.
Jon Cole Posted June 9, 2017 Author Posted June 9, 2017 Monogram Callaway Corvette Speedster maybe? Those may have to do. I will look for that Corvette. In fact, many Corvette kits may have something.
Joe Handley Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Check out the early AMT/ERTL Dodge Stealth R/T kits, the wheels on that should be close enough to make into those Pumper wheels.
Don Sikora II Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 The custom wheels in the AMT '55 Chevy stepside pickup kit might be a place to start. Think if you knock off the raised round "cap" thing at the center of those, the shape starts getting close. They should also fit the Daytona's kit tires. Those may have to do. I will look for that Corvette. In fact, many Corvette kits may have something. Some of AMT's late-model C4 Corvette convertibles include an extra set of unplated custom wheels that are very similar to the Monogram Callaway wheels. Don't think they are shown on the box, but I picked up a couple kits super cheap and they were a nice surprise. Can't remember off top of my head exactly which issues have them though...
426-Hemi Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Jon, if you find a older MPC Shelby Charger from the mid to late 1980's that kit comes with those wheels!
