Oldschool4x4 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Just bought this kit and wanted to know what the wheels are, I can find 5 spoke versions on the web but not the 4 spoke. Help Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I don't think they replicate any real wheels. Not sure why Ertl thought four spoke wheels would be a good idea, but maybe there's just something about Pro Street '67 Chevelles, as Revell's version has Chevy bowties instead of lug nuts. ?

1930fordpickup Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Maybe if they had their own wheel they saved money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutalform Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) I often wondered why that kit came with a four spike Centerline style wheel. They still look pretty good, except for the one less spoke. Are you looking for a correct wheel in this style? One of the Revell 69 Nova SS kits has decent looking Centerline Convo Pros that you would just need to modify the rears to be a pro street rim.

espo Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I think those 4 spoke wheels are meant to replicate a light weight wheel used mainly for Drag Racing. I wonder if this offering could be built as a stock 396 SS. I remember when this was first issued at the same time Revell started offering their '67 SS 396. There was several write ups comparing the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldschool4x4 Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share Posted October 26, 2019 OK thanks, that explains why I couldn't find them. Since I'm building this OOB I guess I will live with them. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think centerline should have had their keasters removed for designing those wheels.... Just an opinion..... ? Sorry!..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
