Chrome reverse rims - Options ? procedures

[gtx6970]

I have one on the bench I need these rims for , ft and rear 

Its a drag car, based on the Revell 1967 GTX.

So if I can come up with wheels that fit this kits tires is a bonus 

 

I've sprayed some Spazstix over a gloss black base spoon test. Its OK at best so am looking for options

Sending rims out to be plated , Is not one of those options 

 

I've pulled the front rims out of the recent issue 63 or 64 Ford and the fronts I can use in a pinch but the rears are far far to small

would the rears from the amt 62 bel aire work? i'm sure it has a drag steels option left from the drag cars

I just pulled one of these kits down

 

Tires are ok, but the rims are not chrome. Which creates another problem

PLUS ,,,, these tires will fit the chrome wheel from said 63-64 Ford( which are far from my ideal 1st choice ) . BUT then the tires dont fit the Revell wheel backs that fit the rear axle in said kit that position the tires in the wheelhouse right

has one of the recent revell hotrods got anything? i know i've seen them in something i looked through recently

Old tool AMT '57 Chevy has always had a nice pair of plated chrome reverse rear wheels, but,

I think any suitable wheel you find will have to be modified in some way, either for backspacing or attachment, probably both.

Ok, Update

Being the tight wad I am I was searching ebay for sellers parting out kits and someone posted the chrome rims from a Lindberg 64 Dodge

 

So, I went thru just about every Lindberg Mopar  kit I had that I thought had steel wheels in them

 

Found 4 real nice ones in the Lindberg Maverick Dodge kit, AND all 4 are chrome

Went thru the Lindberg spare kits box and found two ft tires that fit said chrome steel wheels. ( Ive parted a bunch of these kits out in the past 15 years )  AND with some offset mods they will fit the Revell wheel backs for the front end.

 

Rears are also same Lindberg wheels but in the Revell 67 GTX kits rear tires and kit wheel backs 

That way everything fits the revell kits chassis components , And the simpler the better 

 

 

PERFECT , for me anyway 

 

Thanks all for the quick replies. It sure opened my eyes to look around the stash a bit
