BIGTRUCK Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Has anybody ever seen a 4 lug stock steel wheel in a kit? I've gone through 100's of parts box wheels and looked in kits like Corvairs, Comets , Pintos, Mustang II,Monza., Valiant..etc. If I have to fab one thats fine , I never really paid attention before, but is everything 5 lug?

stavanzer Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I've never seen a steel 4 Lug Rim. 4 Lug Mags, but that is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rattle can man Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Aoshima makes some 4 lug wheel sets, not sure if any of them will meet your requirements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I don't think any of the AMT or SMP annual kits had four-lug open wheels, though the Falcons, Comets, and early Corvairs and Novas should have had them. The kits that did include open wheels nearly always had five-lug. A handful of them (AMT '62 Impalas for example) had no lug detail at all.

Ulf Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Tamiya, Lotus Super Seven II 1/24 very nice tires as well. The pressing between the bolt holes is a bit odd I think compared to, for example, 13 inch 4 bolt rims like 60's Ford Mustang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the early 60-61 Corvair,Falcon and Comet..you would be right in thinking they would have them like I did but no 4 lug. This is the actual 4 lug Im searching for but ot may be a pipe dream, Im thinking they were all generic 5 lug except for light trucks with 6. I have the original 62 Chevy HT and your correct , no detail. 4 small drops of epoxy will work then cast a few..thanks much for that info Mark..
