Old style mags?

Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, November 19, 2005 10:38 PM

I am building a 69 camaro and was wanting to put different wheels and tires on it. Does anybody know where I can find a set of wheels and tires.

I finished one of the '69 Z28s recently, and I used the wheels and tires from the Revell '32 Ford 3-window coupe. They're a good representation of American torq thrust 5-spoke mags, with big & little Goodyear Blue Streak tires. They look good on the Camaro, fit with no complications, and give the model just a bit of a rake.

Anyone know a source of the Minilite mags used by many racing Mustangs, Camaros etc in the late 60's and 70's??

Except weight Big Smile [:D] Thumbs Up [tup] There are 19" wheels on the market that weigh as little as 10 pounds apiece and can take track punishment all day. Strap some of those on your car and you would be amazed at the handling diffrence. The less mass your car has to move, the more effiecient it is. My 2 cents [2c]
