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!

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.

I forgot about the Monogram kit- similar era, better chrome QC (provided 1/24th is good for you).

The 39 Chevy wagon is getting reissued so fresh sets should be available soon.

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.

The box art picture for the next reissue shows them on the kit.

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!
