JollySipper Posted July 24, 2022 Posted July 24, 2022 Hello, guys! I have been asking questions about what will be a project hopefully soon...... The Coyote X supercar. I'll need to source the wheels, somehow. They're the Champ wheels from the '80s (they look like my avatar pic!). Were these available at all in a kit? The ones on the Coyote are super deep, and staggered, I think........ Seems the rears are wider. I could possible sleeve a kit wheel to get the depth, if they were ever in a kit........ Thanks for any help!
gman Posted July 24, 2022 Posted July 24, 2022 The Revell "Hot Rod" series '29 Ford from 1986 came with a set. The caveat with these is the chrome was usually horrible, with lots of flash on most parts- not a banner period for Revell.
Force Posted July 24, 2022 Posted July 24, 2022 They are also in a couple of versions of the Revell Monogram 39 Chevy Coupe.
Fat Brian Posted July 24, 2022 Posted July 24, 2022 The 39 Chevy wagon is getting reissued so fresh sets should be available soon.
gman Posted July 24, 2022 Posted July 24, 2022 I forgot about the Monogram kit- similar era, better chrome QC (provided 1/24th is good for you).
JollySipper Posted July 24, 2022 Author Posted July 24, 2022 Thanks a bunch, Fellas...... This is the best forum!

I'm not sure the Champ wheels were in the 39 Chevy Delivery Wagon, I know it had Magnum 500 style wheels and Low Rider wire rims but I have no recollection of any other wheels in that kit. But the Coupe for sure had them.

Ace-Garageguy Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 I have a set from the Monogram Chevy, still on the tree. They're all the same depth, but they're yours if you want them. Look for a PM 2
Daryl Romain Posted August 13, 2022 Posted August 13, 2022 I got these from Steven Zimmerman. He is on FB, makes and sells wheels.
JollySipper Posted August 13, 2022 Author Posted August 13, 2022 Those look "wheel" good! I've seen a lot of Zman wheels here on the board, they always look like a quality piece..... First I've seen of those, though.... Thanks! 1
