br67 Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 Hi I am looking for a set of these wheels in scale pls. Johan Maverick wheels are close but a bit shallow on the front wheels
espo Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 I used the wheels in the Round 2 reissued AMT Studebaker Avanti kit for a build of a car I owned years ago. Look at my avatar picture of my '67 El Camino for an idea. Another possible source would be the Starsky and Hutch Torino kit. These are on the chrome tree in both kits and you can easily change the finish to what ever you want them to look like.
Draggon Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 Are the Fireball Modelworks wheels close enough? http://www.fireballmodels.info/fmr-035-37.htm
Plowboy Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 The Revell '41 Willys gasser kits have a nice set.
br67 Posted November 9, 2020 Author Posted November 9, 2020 Thanks for the tips guys - I think I’m on the right track now
ScottH454 Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 I can't tell what the rear rim has for center cap but these match the front with it's center cap. https://action-modeler.com/product/ansen-sprint-w-beadlock/
mikemodeler Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 Pegasus offers these with and without tires. Order direct from Pegasus or some of the online retailers have them too.
gman Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 I would say the Arii wheel & tire set- big & little slotted mags with correspondingly sized BFG's, but they are long discontinued. The last ones I saw on eBay were going to cost big $$$. I believe Fireball offers the wheels and tires, at a much nicer price.

Actually if you set up an an automatic search, they show up fairly frequently, and often sell for less than $15-$20 (which to me is quite affordable). I don't expect to get them for their original 30-year old prices.
Draggon Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 I've got the Arii wheels and tire sets. While they are lovely, they're 1/24 and way too big to look in scale on smaller bodied 1/25 scale cars unless you want to simulate 16" wheels.
