Pretty sure this is an AMT wheels, but IIRC, the Ansen Apollo Torq-Trust knock-off wheel has a capital letter A at the top of the center cap, while this one is blank. Also, the center cap is noticeably off-center on both of these. ?‍♀️

Those wheels are MPC, they look like the ones in the '69 Firebird annual kit.  They may have been in the Camaro too, as both kits shared a ton of parts.

Fourth wheel from the left, molded in red is from???? ?‍♂️ Definitely 1/24 Monogram, but I don't think it's from the Street Rat version of the '66 Malibu SS as I don't recall this style of wheel ever being included in that version. Maybe Troublemaker ElCo F/C front wheel?

They're in the '68 Camaro as well.

Thanks. They look 16"+, so I figured they might fit the 1/24 Goodyear Rally GT tires.

That custom grille, tho...?

MPC's custom parts were hit and miss back then.  You want u-g-l-y custom stuff, check out their '67 and '68 Firebirds.  Thankfully, I have yet to see one built with those parts...
