Monty Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 If memory serves, MPC offered these as a custom wheel option in (+/-) '84 Mustang GTs and SVOs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 Hmmmm, interesting. Any idea what 1:1 wheel this is meant to represent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted May 9 Author Share Posted May 9 Can-Con, thanks for taking the time to do the research etc. Unless I'm missing something (always a possibility) the wheels in the MPC '57 Corvette gasser kit are the same as the ones in the Mustang SVO kit I posted. Would you agree? More importantly, I'm still wanting to know if any resin caster offers them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'd say they're the same as the front wheels in the Vette kit. The back side of them may be completely different though. I've never had one of those SVO kits. Sorry, I don't know of anyone casting them at the moment. Edited May 9 by Can-Con Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is at least one site featuring pictures of "mags" from the late '60s to the mid-'70s, some of which I'd never seen in real life. Geezer whine: I'm glad I grew up when I did. Today's oversize wheels just look like aluminized origami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some cars or trucks look good with newer, larger wheels and some look good with traditional wheels. Just my opinion. Do you know of these sites? https://vintagewheelcatalogs.com/ https://akhwheels.com/wheel-categories/aluminum/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 (edited) I couldn't begin to tell ya what sight I was on that had some great classic wheel pics, but I don't think it was as extensive as these. Thank you so much! These are fantastic! Edited May 10 by Monty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
