Andrew D the Jolly Roger Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Where can I find this type of wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 A lot of 4X4 kits had them in the late '70s and '80s. But, right now, the AMT "Superstones" Ford pickup has a set but they don't have any lug nut detail. The AMT "Fantom" Ford van has a set but not plated.

Andrew D the Jolly Roger Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Not worried about plated, I'll Alclad them. Any available in aftermarket form, or are those kits pretty much the only way to go? Also, just took a look at the Superstones; they look awfully heavy duty. This is only for a muscle car roadrunner-type....would they still be the same types?

bisc63 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Something really similar in the AMT Ford Courier pickup kit, seen in this thread: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is only for a muscle car roadrunner-type....would they still be the same types? those wagon wheels were insanely popular in that time period and were made in sizes to fit everything from 4 lug trailers up to 8 lug heavy duty 4x4 trucks, B-N-L used to cast some that would be more appropriate for a 2wd truck or a car but I'm unsure of his status right now, there are several sets from kit part out people listed on Ebay right now, just go to model cars and type in wagon wheels those from Brian's picture look pretty good and could be narrowed from behind if needed Edited March 18, 2021 by 440 Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapSat 6 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 If you’re looking for those wheels for a 1/24 build, Japanese manufacturer Arii used to offer them as a set with some nice fat 1/24 rubber BF Goodrich TA’s. They’re not so easy to find, but they do pop up on the auction site from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapSat 6 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Another more current source in 1/24 might be the Revell (formerly Monogram) 70’s GMC and Chevy pickups, but you would still have to come up with car street tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya know - Daisy's Road Runner was the only muscle car I've ever seen with these kinds of wheels. All the rest were on trucks. Speaking of which, what about Daisy's Jeep? I seem to recall a nice set in that kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
