• Just wondering, is there a wheel style/brand which "you" would like to see included (more often) as an option in a kit or available in a parts pack? *NM*
  • Depending on the car but a nice set of Cragar's w/ the SS center cap or in a parts pack with the 8-10 wide and 4 wide's *NM*
    • I agree wirh Frank. *NM*
  • Since I build showroom stock, would like to see different optional stock wheels-hubcaps in kits. Would also like to see more wire wheels available; would prefer laced up but would settle for photoetch. *NM*
    • Interestingly, I was at an IPMS contest last Saturday, and there was a sci-fi diorama that had a "Federation starship" in the "background". The saucer section of that ship[was a stock wheelcover from a Revell '64 Impala kit! *NM*
  • I’m with Wayne- stock wheelcovers. If I want magnums or rally wheels from whatever GM division, there are already plenty of sources for those. *NM*
    • Include me in that. *NM*
  • Keystone Klassics *PIC*
  • Authentic era wheels and or caps - especially a modern 'spyder' center cover
  • I always like to see "dog dish" caps on 50's-60's-70's cars. A few kits have them but not many. *NM*
    • Definately dog dish caps and steel wheels. *NM*
  • Borrani wire wheels *NM*
    • Yep, a few sets of 15x 7 & 15 x 8 Alloy rimmed Borrani would suit me, also some nice Halibrand mags & Cragar SS, in fact any aftermarket wheels in chrome are appreciated. *NM*
  • Stock wheel covers please. My stash is overflowing with "mag" wheels and magnum 500's. *NM*
  • We very rarely get deep, and not so deep wheels in a kit. Almost any style of '70s-'80s "mag" wheel that was used on muscle cars, as long as we get both sizes, along with the appropriate tires. Although some proper Ansen or ET alumnum 5-slot mags would be highly appreciated. *NM* *PIC*
    • I agree 100% *NM*
    • Agree with Bill nice 8 and 10 inch slots, like the set that used to be around in the aftermarket, they were nice but don't see them around anymore! Forgot the brand name! *NM*
  • A wider variety of 60s-80s era wheels. Motor Wheels, Appliance (Apache, Wiremag, etc.), Ansens, slotted, various depth Cragars, 200S's, etc. *NM*
  • I’d like to see a nice spoked wire wheel option like the ones that came in the old AMT “Cruisin USA” series kits. *NM*
    • Which kit Mike? I don't remember any of them having any extra parts in them that weren't in any other version of the kit except the '70 Impala and it had Motor Wheel Spiders in that. *NM*
      • The ‘65 Riviera. The reissue after tha,when you could build a stock version, did not have them. They had some ‘80’s style wheels for the custom version. *NM*
        • Just checked, they have them too. I always thought they were a nice wheel and should've come in more kits. *NM*
        • I don't know what issue that would be Mike. Pretty sure the issue after that was the one in the pic I attached. I've built a couple of those and have a couple of the next issue with the beige car on the box. Both have both the Skylark wires and the Astro Customs in them as, *PIC*
          • Yeah, I guess the Riviera kit always had them. My first introduction to those wire wheels was with the “Cruising USA” ‘65 Riveria kit that I purchased in ‘82. I still have it and at the time, I thought the wheels were very impressive at the time. *NM*
  • Torque Thrusts, both vintage and modern sizing. Simply because I’d like a set for certain 2016 Mustang both in 1:1 and scale. *NM*
  • How about some nice "bent spoke" Kelsey Hayes wire wheels appropriate for some hot rods? The ones in the Revell '32 sedan are awful. *NM* *PIC*
