Opened a factory sealed Revell Castrol Reynard and found the #51 rear wheels were cut from the sprue and are gone. Inner bag was opened so this is a mystery.
Have looked at various sites that offer wheels and tires for open wheel cars but find none like these. Can anyone help? Thank you.

Hi Tony,
First off welcome aboard, glad you found your way here! Sad to hear, but it looks like you may have gotten a repackaged kit. Most of the time I have spare BBS wheels. However, after checking I don't have any spares. Someone else on the board may be able to help you. The Revell Reynards are commanding a high price lately. However, my other advice is to keep an eye on ebay, you might be able to find a glue bomb and then you can scavenge the the wheels.

Thank you for the reply. Y'know, I've got umpteen AMT kits so would've been easy to steal a couple of wheels from one of those but only have one each of the Revell kits.
I don't do ebay but I know many modelers go there to fill a need.

Hi Tony
If you are still lookin for wheels I have some I can send you. The haves are glued together and they appear to have been dechromed, not sure which kit they are out of. Also have the lugs for the fronts. Just pm me your address and I will send them to you.

Tony, there are 2 styles of wheels in the Reynard kits:
- Target and Visteon kits had OZ style wheels
- All the rest had BBS style (Eagle/Castrol, Shell, Forsythe(Players), Pioneer, Lite, and Motorola)
Might be good to specify whether you are looking for chromed or not.
Hope that Helps,
Jordan

Hope that Helps, Jordan I believe he has the Revell Castrol Reynard, which has the BBS wheels.

Yes, it's the BBS style wheels from the Eagle/Castrol kit and they're white plastic.
Eric, that's very good of you to offer sending me the wheels but let's wait a little longer in case I find something but I'll keep you in mind.

Thanks for the response to my missing wheels. There's a swap meet coming up in a couple of weeks so I might get lucky and find something but I doubt it. You never know. I'll wait to see how that goes and revisit this subject if I need to.
