I hope some one might know these answers THANK YOU FORUM IN ADVANCE
August 16, 20197 yr I didnt even know MPC sold 1/16 versions. I got the smaller one but nothing for the 1/16. I've heard of people buying a Corvette kit just for the wheels of their custom General Lee model. Although I think those were mostly from Revell.
August 16, 20197 yr It may be a lot of work, but you could try making a mold from one of the other wheels and casting a resin replacement. I found a couple of "how to" guides here and here.
