Question: Is there a wheel style/brand which "you" would like to see included (more often) as an option in a kit, or available in a parts pack?

Thanks in advance for your input.

For me its not so much about the wheel brand thats included but it would be nice to see 3 wheel options in kits again but updated to more modern versions. for example the 3 that would get me to pick a kit over another would be stock wheels, era correct aftermarket wheels and a set of modern style aftermarket wheels.  With how popular pro touring is its surprising how few kits there are of the style. visually a lot of them are stock body with aftermarket wheels so including them opens up another style without having to spend a fortune in the aftermarket. Obviously this wouldn't be for every kit but it could bring younger builders to the marketplace.

I would like to see more two piece wheels so it is easy to have a chrome rim with a colored center. Some kits do have these but I would like to see more.

Jackman style Baja bug wheels. There's more. Stay tuned.

Not a wheel but if AMT puts those pad printed Firestone Wide Ovals (like the ones in the Surfer van kit) in a parts pack like the once did with the Polyglas pack, I would be all over multiple sets.

American Torq-Thrust Ds. EVERYTHING looks better on Torq-Thrust Ds.

I still don't know who made this wheel, but I love it.

I was thinking that too. They were slightly different than regular Torq Thrust "O"

Whooo! Thats pretty big. I read somewhere American came out with them in 1968. The curved spokes were meant to clear the disk brakes on the Corvettes.

How about some Centerline Champs? They were in a few kits back when this wheel was popular, but I don't believe they were since.....

Casey makes these. These look exactly like the American Racing Gambler wheel. I had a set of these on my Toyota pickup, but they were 6 lug /6 hole. Good looking wheel.

Revell is bringing the 39 Chevy back out soon so these might be on the shelf again shortly.

I have about 10 kits with these in them if you need some. The ones in the Manx kit look pretty good.
