I want to see them do another 87-93 notch. I dont care what color it is, I want one bad.

Email them. the people we get to email them and they will make one. I talked to
there mustang guy there and he told me it wouldnt be hard to make them they just need people to want them. I have all there old ones. Including all the police ones to. I even built one that looks like mine.

So the keneisis wheels fit? I sent them an email and never got a reply. I def want to buy a set now. There were a set of bullitt wheels that i think would look great on the 2-tone red '92 GT i have

How hard was it to change the wheels??

 

[RARE NOTCH]

Yeah those wheels would look killer on that one or the grey one to. i have both of those two.
The rear is pretty easy. But the front is a pain in the a$$.

 

[Mustang5L5]

Awesome. I just bought a set of Cobra R's and The 5-spoke Kenesis wheels.


I wish i could find these

Here is my conversion of my red GMP coupe to white....need help with the front wheels? anyone?

 

[RARE NOTCH]

What kind of help do you need. what wheels are those?

 

[Mustang5L5]

Looks like the front wheels aren't mounting up.


I think those are the GMP wheels

BTW, what are you guys using to paint these models with?

 

[RARE NOTCH]

I need to see the back of them. to see how they mount. cause those early gmp's were different then the new one's

 

[Ozz]

Rare Notch, those added-on wheels look sick! That's all I need now...to start modifying my toy cars too

Very cool though!

 

[91svtcoupe]

yep

yep thats them...

no there not mounted up right now....still thinking of whats best...

I used rustolem white gloss spray paint....not the best but it was my first one I tried painting.....

 

[RARE NOTCH]

Thanks. I figured its cheaper then doing the real car so why not. I have 8 bucks in wheels on each car so its not to expensive. The real thing would be way more then 8 bucks. lol

Sent you a pm about how to fix the problem.

 

[Mustang5L5]

Well i just got a set of Kenesis 5-spokes I got off ebay. I also bought the Cobra R's but the guy sent me the Chrome bullitt wheels like 91svtcoupe has instead. I'd rather get the Cobra R's so i'm in touch with him to fix this

Anyway, how do i take the OEM wheels off? I'm gonna put them on my '92 GT red/titanium and then many put the pony wheels on my '87 notch or maybe the '89 GT vert.

 

[RARE NOTCH]

Ok give me a minute to gather my thoughts

 

[RARE NOTCH]

Ok to get the wheels off the 92gt. You will need a sodering iron. Cause once you get the spindles off you will see a pin in the middle of it. Take the sodering iron and put the tip in the center of the pin for a few seconds. and pull the wheel down and it will come of but be carefull cause you dont want to lose the pin cause you will need that for the new wheels. You will see how the old wheels are so hat is what you will need to do to the new wheels to make them work. get some plastic tube to make it like the old wheels. You will fab up something so the pin will fit in the tube and you will be set for the 92. As for the 87 it is way easer. Once you get the spindle off its just a phillips screw and the wheels are off. Now here is the fun part if you can fab up something to work on those spindles then cool. cause when i did my replica i bought a yellow rag top for 45 bucks and used the chrome ponys off it and the front spindlesso im good to go. but if you can fab up something to work cool. If not email gmp and see if thy can send you a set of front spindles of a new style mustang. put atten mark if you do. Hope this helps you on your first wheel swap cause once you start you will be swaping wheels on all your mustangs. I want to see pic's when your done to.

 

[Mustang5L5]

Thanks for the reply. Glad I asked first otherwise iw ould have just tried to yank them off.

Guess i'll put some thought into what wheels I want to swap around onto what cars. I want to wait for my Cobra R's first.

I also just won a grey/titanium '92 GT off ebay...so one more to the collection
