I’m looking for these rims that I saw in another member’s post. I asked him where he got them, but he doesn’t remember. Does anyone know of a kit that had these?  I need them for a truck kit I plan on doing. Thanks!!!IMG_1137.png.46ab91dc67885df1685c63f0b054cc76.png

Those seem to be the wheels (and tires) from the Aluma Coupe BUT...

AMT also had a set of similar wheels in the late 80s/early 90s reissue of their 40 Ford coupe. Kit #8056. This kit also came with some modern seats and an updated digital dashboard.

I have a set of these wheels in the stash, and they all have they same offset, as well as fit the AMT Goodyear Eagles that were all the rage back then.

Those are perfect!!! I sent you a PM about them.

It should be noted though, that the Aluma Coupé has "true" directional wheels (they're just mis-matched on the built buggy), whereas all four wheels in the AMT '40 are identical.

The Aluma Coupe and the Chezom tires were known to crack after a short time, unfortunately long enough for many builders to glue the wheels on....
