webestang Posted September 24, 2022 Posted September 24, 2022 These Mustang II/Pinto wheels...............

roadhawg Posted September 25, 2022 Posted September 25, 2022 Appliance Tru Spokes were pretty popular back in the day......... 4
Plowboy Posted September 25, 2022 Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) I'd like to see a set of Weld Drag Lite’s. One of the most popular wheels ever and only came in the Pro Stock kits. A set of Rod Lites would also be nice. I'd also like to see some more modern wheels like Revell did with the California Wheels and Foose kits. But, more up to date.

Vintage AMT Posted September 25, 2022 Posted September 25, 2022 I think AMT [what ever they are called now] should put these in their 67 Shelby kit.. 1

Bills72sj Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 As mentioned above, Keystone Klassics, Hurst Dazzlers, American Racing 200-S, 3-piece Corvette rallys. All in with wide and widers 4
espo Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 A lot of different wants as far as wheel appearance. I think that Cobraman's suggestion of a two-part wheel might be a viable idea. The outer halves could be one or more widths and the centers could be interchangeable depending on the style the builder wanted.

The outer halves could be one or more widths and the centers could be interchangeable depending on the style the builder wanted. That could be expanded a little. A lot of modern wheels are just bigger old wheels so if there was a second size of rims to upsize the originals you've just turned one wheel into 2 differnet sets with just a rim swap. if the extra rim had a little extra lip that would give you the option to get the offsets you need. For example a 16" early ford rim could be a modern 18/9" rim 1

Richard Bartrop Posted September 27, 2022 Posted September 27, 2022 Yes, if Revell could somehow bring back the Kelsey Hayes wire wheels, or come up with a new version, that would be great. The big and little wide whites and steel wheels from the '29 RPU are just begging for the Parts Pack treatment.
ChrisBcritter Posted September 27, 2022 Posted September 27, 2022 I'd love to see some 13-inch/4-bolt steelies and chrome reverses; not sure if anyone else would. 1

Keef Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 Centerline Warriors in a big/little combo would be nice 1

Mike C. Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) It does, but it's missing the rivets. And it's six lugs. Edited September 28, 2022 by Mike C.
keyser Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 I looked. One piece, 6 lug. Really like them. What is that on, Chevy?
