Fat Brian Posted June 20, 2022 Posted June 20, 2022 I'm building an 81 Mustang and I'm looking for period 4 lug wheels. I have the Halibrand wheels from the Pinto wagon kit but I'm looking for other options. Preferably something like solid disc Centerlines.
Can-Con Posted June 20, 2022 Posted June 20, 2022 The old Revell "Monroe Handlar" Mustang II kit had them. Might be hard to find though Also there's Aoshima "Mark 1" 14 inch. 1

I also might be getting those Aoshima wheels if the kit they're in ever gets here. I'll see how they look when they get here.

They have several styles of 4 bolt wheels, you might want to try googling "Aoshima wheels" to see if any of their other styles look good to you.

The kit definitely has 4 lug wheels. At least all the ones I've seen including the reissues had them. Maybe someone swapped out the original wheels in your kit?

But they're too small. I'm building a Monogram 1/24 kit so those wheels are like 13". The Aoshima kit I got just happened to have the wheels you posted, I looked through ever set I could find but they didn't have anything American enough looking other than those.
