Ben Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 I'm a stickler about replicating the real thing when possible. I really love the little MPC Zingers kits but don't like how they have the wrong rear wheels. I was wondering if anyone has found a source for a deep Cragar wheel that will fit the Zingers rear tires?
Draggon Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) The out of production MRC wheel sets are among the most accurate and deepest Cragars I've seen. They're still out there and show up on Ebay every few months. Pricey, though. The Monogram El Camino Camper has a nice set too, and our member Casey sells resin copies. They are both a slight bit too large in diameter for the Zinger tires, but I dont think you're going to find anything else. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Resin-1-24-Scale-Cragar-S-S-Deep-Deeper-15-Wheels-/321755161471?hash=item4aea1a237f This is a pic of the MRC wheels.

mikemodeler Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Would the rear wheels from the AMT 70 1/2 B-M Camaro work? IIRC they are a deep dish style Cragar and I saw the kit on the shelf at HL and it was clearance priced.
Draggon Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Nope, the MRC tires are square shouldered Mickey Thompsons, and another brand I have forgotten. This isnt my pic, I found it online. These tires look like Revell-Monogram Goodyears with no lettering. Edited July 28, 2015 by Draggon
Nova-ss Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I believe the Cragar wheel in MRC kits are not 15 10 inch reverse rim..I believe there 8inch reverse..I make my own out of tge MRC kits....Chris
bigdrag1 Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Hey Ben, find your self The Barris "T" Buggy kit from a few years ago , it`s got a set of 8`in deep Cragars and a set of 10`in deep Cragars. Plus a great set of 60`s Indy tires for them. I used them on ALL my Zinger builds, they make them RIGHT !!!
