dannyi Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 I have these two Hurst wheels, I believe their referred to as the "dazzlers"?. The first wheel has a center cap with a "raised" letter "H", although I could not find this style cap when I researched it. The second wheel has an "embossed" letter "H" with the word "HURST" inside it. What struck me about the second wheel is the bevel on the back side. Out of all the wheels I have only two are like this. Does anyone know who made these and what kit they might be from? Thanks in advance guys!........
Mike Kucaba Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 I don't know,but to confuse the subject more I have a set of HURST wheels.They have the raised H like the top one and the spokes similar to the bottom one. These came from an IMC '48 Ford kit.
george 53 Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 The last pic is of a JoHan wheel. They were the only ones to use this type of wheel,Danny. The top wheel looks like a MPC 66 or so GTO wheel, coulda been a 67 too. I don't remember a JoHan Hurst wheel though. Coulda come with somethin like a AMC /Hurst designed kit. But it IS a JoHan wheel. They fit smaller tires like a 14 inch wheel. Hope this helps.

Casey Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) no idea where either wheel came from but the first one looks much better IMO. the raised "H" could be easier for some to detail paint maybe too I agree 100%. Much crisper detail-wise. Maybe they came from the Revell Royal Pontiac '66 GTO kit? Edited June 7, 2011 by Casey
