AMT Wild Wheels 'n wide Ovels

[Mr mopar]

off FB page of Round2 this is the New wheel & tier set .

[Rob Hall]

Not sure what is 'wild' about them, 'mild' would be more accurate...looks like the same generic 5 spoke wheels that have been included in several recent reissues...

Tampo printed white lettered tires and what appears to be the nice American mags from the 67 Charger kit.

Don't know about y'all, but I can't have too many sets of Torque Thrust looking five spoke wheels, and the tires won't be bad either.  Bring 'em on!

I agree with you there. I just bought the new issue off the '62 Pontiac just because of the wheels and tires. I already have a half a dozen Catalinas now.

A set of bigs and littles would be a seller!

Looks like a nice set of Torq Thrusts  -

Is this the place to say we need some Cragar SS wheels - big and little like the original '71 Road Runner and some skinny fronts for the vintage funny cars...  I'm hoping Round 2 already has them in the works.

Yep! Those are in the latest '68 El Camino kit... With redlines on one side... And Firestone on the other.....

Sweet! I'll probably order several sets. These look good on almost everything. 

[High octane]

They do look good, however I have plenty of tires in stock right now.

[samdiego]

I think they resemble an Astro Supreme more than the Torque-thrust

Either Way, I've gotten about 4 sets of them now, as the "bonus" in new Round2 kits.  I'm beginning to have too many of them. It feels like they are becoming less of an extra, and more like just another option. I have mixed feelings about them. They are well done, and I'm glad of the 'value added' they represent, but they are not a style I particularly care for, or will ever use. So in that sense, they are of no value in getting me to purchase a kit. I buy kits based on what I like, and these wheels have no influence on the pros & cons of that decision.

I'd much prefer a great set of Cragar Rims instead.

[Rob Hall]

It would be nice if Round 2 could come up with other newly tooled vintage style rims, using this one style over and over and over again (must be at least 1/2 dozen kits in the last 2-3 years with them) is getting pretty boring...

[dustym]

haven't bought any AMT's for awhile, so i don't have these. I may purchase them now, and save me from buying more kits i don't plan on building.

I think they should try a set with big & little tires(like the Polyglass GTs) with some nice steel wheels, and stock 60s dog dish hubcaps. I bet they would sell, there isn't a lot of kits with them.
