Wheels

[TransAmMike]

I'm looking for the front wheels on the '57 pictured.   I think Comp Resins had them but they are now out of business.

Anyone have a source?  I've exhausted my search.

Thanks, Mike

3d Scale Parts sells those on ebay but they're pretty overpriced at nearly $20 a pair. The model is also for sale on Cults3d if you know someone who could print it.

I picked these up off of ebay.

Not certain about how many other kits they are in, but the AMT Double Dragster kit comes with them, and they are chrome......

Those front wheels are in the AMT Piranha kit.

Try the AMT '56 Ford Vicky.

The Slingster has a similar set. It has spoke and wire front wheel options. I just used my set on a funny car, otherwise I'd offer them up.

I'd go with any of the AMT kits mentioned, above. Especially the Double Dragster, because it's a gold mine!

It should be noted that all the old AMT wheels are spindle mounts and the ones OP asked about are flange/lug nut mounted. This may or may not matter but it's worth pointing out.

Yep, I'd prefer to not be spindle mounted.

It’s also worth noting that all of the spindlemount wheels found in AMT kits (Fiat “Double Dragster”, “Piranha”, ‘32 Ford Vicky, and ‘56 Ford Vicky) are classic American Racing 12-spoke wheels, whereas the ones in question are contemporary 10-spoke wheels to acommodate the 5-bolt mounting pattern.

Aside from 3D Scale Parts, Mean Machine Models offers them in 1:24 scale: https://www.meanmachinemodels.com/p/1-24-syqf8w/
