Casey Posted January 25, 2022 Author Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) 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. ?♀️ Edited January 25, 2022 by Casey
Mark Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 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.

Maybe Troublemaker ElCo F/C front wheel? '87 Thunderbird optional wheel.

Mark Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 I even have an MPC '68 Camaro, it's fifteen miles away right now though.

They look 16"+, so I figured they might fit the 1/24 Goodyear Rally GT tires. 54 minutes ago, pack rat said: They're in the '68 Camaro as well. Thanks, that looks like a match: That custom grille, tho...?
Mark Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 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...
