Ive got the crossbars, the chromes, and the soverigns. Bernard Kron found out that the chromes also come in "bigs and littles", 15" rears and 14" fronts. I found out that the soverigns have the small tires. The same size chromes look better using the littles on the front, and the soverigns look better with the bigger tires. Still dont know the part numbers for the "bigs and littles" or the crossbars with wide whites.

Anyone notice on the 5 spokes mag wheels they didn't make narrower ones for front wheels, just asking.... great for a lowrider but not for a street rod.. or Gasser

I think this line of wheels is more intended for the Custom Car/ Lowrider Crowd. The Astro style wheels are really nice. I picked mine up at Pegasus!

Yes, the Astro style ones would look good on a lowered Revell '59 or '60 Chevy or AMT '60 Starliner, I think...full size cars of that era...

Just got back from Tucson and their great hobby shop at ACE Hardware across from my alma mater Palo Verde High School (class of '65). Picked up some Pegasus wheel sets, WOW! those are great. Got the Chromed Reverse rims and the Supremes. Had to go back for more.

Do you have a photo of the 5.20s James? The thin whitewall tires look nice on the Sovereigns. But, I think the chrome reverse wheels and four bars will look better with a wide white wall IMO. I've got a few WWWs from different Revell kits that I want to try on the wheels I have coming.

Pegasus makes them with wide whites as well.

These are the 520 tires, whitewall is the same, they just have a smaller sidewall.

You can sign me up for a couple of sets. All of the after market ones are 19(hate the look) and I don't like the looks. I build mostly customs rods and stock, why can't we have more of these type of wheel for our type of builds. Old style chrome reverse rims, mag wheels(14" & 15") from the 50's 60's and 70's.. Hope the after market listens to this

I don't get the fuss over these. They're oversize for 1/25, the hubs and bolt detail look toy-like and the offset on the 5 spokes is huge. I bought some of each and offloaded them as soon as I could.

I like the Wheels for these but the Tires are junk... they are fine if you eliminate the Poor excuse for whitewalls... I could have freehanded the whitewalls better than the ones that are on them and I can't paint a straight line...

I've got a set of each on hold at work, I really like the wheels, can't complain on the tires either, they'll look good on any late 50's/early 60's kustoms and lowriders.
