Modlbldr Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 Anybody know what kit these tires and wheels came from? Tires are GoodYear Speedway Wide Tread. Thanks for your help. Later-
Snake45 Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 The wheels look like the ones in the MPC '68 Corvette annual.
Mark Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 Some of the MPC Impala kits had those mag wheels, but the backs with separate brake rotors point to the Corvette kits. I'm pretty sure they had those wheels from '68 through '72.
keyser Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 Agree. Looks like 68-9 Impala or Vette wheels. Impalas had metal axles, so this looks less like it.
Modlbldr Posted July 23, 2022 Author Posted July 23, 2022 Thanks guys for your wealth of knowledge. I appreciate it! Later-
StevenGuthmiller Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 Same wheels as in the MPC ‘68 Coronet kit? Steve
Can-Con Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 14 minutes ago, StevenGuthmiller said: Same wheels as in the MPC ‘68 Coronet kit? Steve No. The Chevy kit wheels are slightly concave, the Coronet Cragar GTs are convex, like most other Cragars. The wheels in question are now in the '76 Caprice kit for the trailer, but just 2 of them. [with different backs, of coarse]
Oldcarfan27 Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 I remember them from the 69 Grand Prix my dad had built when I was a kid. Loved those tires. The kit was cool too. He had painted it avocado green appliance paint, but I remember it having a good look to it. Wish I still had it today.
keyser Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 @StevenGuthmillerThe spokes go all the way to the outer rim. Coronet spokes stop at the inner rim. Always liked both of these mags.
bisc63 Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 I really like the looks of those wheels; I gotta dig in the stash to see if I may have some already. Very cool. 1
