Pegasus Magnum Drags

[MitchP]

In my search for Convo Pro and Magnum Drags wheels (front & rear) for a pro mod build, I found a link to a gentleman who had a tremendous inventory; even drag radial combinations of wheels/tires. I can't find the thread it was in, but it had a fiery skull I believe. I went on his site and he definitely had EXACTLY what I wanted in 1/25. However, due to PayPal issues, he threw in the towel, sold his stock I think and moved his business to another site. When I went there, his full inventory wasn't available.

I've been to Hobbyline in my search and they have front/rear Magnum Drags paint gold inside and having beadlock rims. The rears are unavailable with no other info, although the fronts are in stock. I believe I saw a post that Pegasus rears are made in China and poor quality. Does anyone have info on this as fact?

Is there another source for 1/25 Convo Pros (without the swirled pattern in the back like the Revell '55 Chevy Streetburner) or Magnum Drags (the kind with the splined sides)? I prefer chromed styrene but resin would do fine also.

Thank you!!!!

The Revell '57 Pro Sportsman has a set of Convo Pro wheels in it. Here's a couple of photos of them. These have Dull Cote on them to take the shine down. I should've left them alone.

You can find nice wheels in any of the older Monogram Pro Stock/Sportsman and F/C kits. I haven't bought a set of the Pegasus drag wheels yet. So, I can't comment on their quality. I've seen them on builds and they look nice IMO. If they're as good as the rest of their wheels, you won't be disappointed. You should be able to get them directly from Pegasus or any other online source.

Those are beautiful. You said '57 Pro Sportsman kit; I don't recall one from Revell. I'll have to shop around and pray it's not rare or expensive or the wife will kill me. BTW, being an old owner of one with a 318/3 spd column shift, I'd swear the car lines in those pics belong to a early 70's Plymouth Duster in that lime green color. Am I right?

I found these searching the 'net. I hope they are in stock; the front set are really thin like they are meant for dragsters. I don't think they'd look very well on a pro street car though. Eh, I guess you could get a good measurement in millimeters and fit your wider tire.

The fronts are narrow. But, they're perfect for any drag or pro street model IMO. The tires in the photos are on a set M/T Sportsmans. You're right about the model. It'a '71 Duster pro street I built for the pro street CBP.

These can be found on some of the older Revellogram F/C kits.

Here's a little better view of the rear wheel.
