ET Turbine Wheels?

[wrecker388]

Closest wheels i have ever seen in a kit would be the skinny rims in the revell low rider magazine `53 Bel air kit,but they are too skinny.Look somewhat like this:

The stock delorean wheels look somewhat like that, but are 4 lug. Its a stretch:/

Yep the older ''56 chevy has similar to the ones I have. I am making a copy from "FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH" movie jefferson's z/28. Beerman86gt told me monograms 65 black rat vette has them, looking back as a weee boy in the mid late 80's there r several kits with them. Trivk is finding them.

The Monogram '56 Chevy Bel Air's turbine wheel have thicker and fewer spokes than the ETs pictured.

There are a few Vette kits with turbine style wheels, but some have no center hub/lug detail. The Black Rat wheels also have too few and thicker spokes than the ETs:

I started looking a bit closer at pics, your right the 566 wheel are the same as "MONOGRAMS CHEVY STREET VAN". until i get an actual set, I'll use them or the plain stocks. I kinow there out there. Carcrazy 81 did what I thought would be a fresh idea 20yrs later lol, he also did the mercury from 80's flick "COBRA" A Stallone movie.and here is his..maybe back then they came in differant issues etc.

"With that release of the merc. being so popular shoul have known I didn't think of it 1st.

How wide are they? The 1:1 wheels on our van are really wide, i could always make them bigger but just curious how wide??

[sports850]

I've got them out of the box , they are only the outer halves I'm afraid (this kit gives you one set of tyres and one set of wheel backs with two choices of outer half , I used the standard wheel outer when I built it) , the half is 5mm wide and 18mm diameter . I checked a few other spare tyres and wheel backs I have here and none fit (all either bigger or smaller ) . The wheel halves are still on the sprue and if you want them I'm happy to send them free , just PM me your address .

[sports850]

No worries .

amt's Ateams gmc van

little late but here it is, the quality isn't great but that`s it on our 1990 Astro Van

The ones from the Revell 53 Bel-air will work, but i only have 2 of them

[cnaind]

Are these close enuff? I think they were made by Arii originally??? They come in wide & wider.

I think the Hurricane style Alan posted the pic of is as close as you'll come in 1/25 scale. If true to the 1:1 wheels, the scale spokes would be incredibly thin.

I looked at the 53 Bel-Air Low rider kit wheels, they look almost right, but I only have two of them. Bummer
