Hey all! Newbie here needing some help. Anyone know what kind of rims these are? Restoring a 71 Maverick and really like these but have no clue what kind they are. Thanks guys!
Thanks! I currently live in Camp Springs, south of Bowie. I used to live in Ocean City though. Where exactly are you?
Oh nice. I grew up near Brandywine in PG county so I've been taking that ride/drive to OC my whole life. Your car is sweet btw. You hit the car shows in OC? Going 302 in mine with a tremec 5sp. Doing all the body work and paint myself. Just can't decide on wheels. Love the ones in the video though.
Yep those are off the AFX slot car set I had as a kid. Cale Yarborough. Real close anyhow. That triggered great memories for me seeing those wheels. I loved that slot set. Cant help you but thanx. I'm going to search for that set now.

Started researching the Brazilian seen and yes they're on a good amount of cars over there. Just a matter of time before I figure this thing out guys!
From what I have found they are not available in the US.. They are Gaúchas rims they were cast rims and are no longer made They were made by a brazilian company, you might be able to purchase a set and have one of our brazilian counterparts ship them here, but the cost might be allot more then you are willing to pay. Here ya go if you want to check some of them out and you want a base price http://www.microsofttranslator.com/...br/MLB-220121066-rodas-gaucha-15-maverick-_JM The R$1.000 converts to $566.30 US dollars for the 4 rims. Its interesting checking out mercado.. lots of nice cars on there, its really interesting seeing mavericks go for R$69.000($39074.70 USD) and R$80.000($45,304 USD) Hmm is it me or did Chirt sale this car already..http://carro.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-219912788-maverick-v8-opala-dodge-mustang-camaro-v8--_JM its only going for $39,727.58 USD
markso125 you are the man! Thanks for the help. I'm going to start researching if they are still available, shipping cost, knock off versions here in the US. I will keep you all posted! Thanks for the help!
Ah those arent mine I am in utah... Mercador is Brazils version of Ebay, as long as you know the right words you can search for some pretty cool stuff for our cars, like Brazilian dashboards. The late Brazil tail lights, consoles, ralley guage packs and all sorts of stuff that they never offered for our cars here in the US. Here is a Brazilian Dashboard if you dont know what I am talking about...Psst check out the glovebox http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx?from=&to=en&a=http%3A%2F%2Fproduto.mercadolivre.com.br%2FMLB-216148619-painel-completo-c-almofada-maverick-_JM And if you get that up here you might be able to sell the guage cluster to one of our canadian members.
