Hi guys, can someone help me find out which kits came with chrome steelie wheels, I need a set and would like some guidence on where to look, I have a large selection of kits and really don't want to go through every kit. So please point me in the right direction.

Thanks

DAN

Pair of nice chrome reverse rear wheels in the old tool AMT '57 Chevy, Revell Monogram '58 Corvette- MPC annual Camaros and Firebirds through the 70s also included deep dish "open racing wheels"

Some issues of the AMT 56 and 57 Fords had them. You could always take stock steelies and Alclad them!

The Amigo pack of the 1/24 Monogram 32 Roadster has some also.

IMO, the best chrome reverse wheels come from the Modelhaus. They're worth every single penny and then some. The '62 Custom Catalina and Monogram '58 Vette are close behind.

AMT '51 Chevy had some (at least the Convertible and Fastback kits did). The AMT '67 Mercury Comet kit had some too, but they were the Mercury-specific 'slotted' steel wheels. There is a set in the AMT '63 Ford Galaxie, but they're a bit iffy, appearance-wise.

In the kits I have it's the opposite. The convertible and the Fleetlines have chrome reversed wheels, but

with baby moon caps. The -51 Bel Air HT has chrome wheels without caps. Deeper rears and shallow

fronts. I used them on my -36 rpu.

Yep, you're right! I knew I was in the ballpark, anyway. :lol:
