Pegasus Sovereign Wheels

PGS-1123 Astro Five Spoke Wheel and Tire Set  $8.90

This plain five spoke wheel started to make its appearance on the car show circuit in the early 1960's as the "poor man's Crager".  However, there is nothing poor about the tough simple look this wheel can add to your favorite show car.  The wheel is perfect, for example, on Ed Roth and similar show cars of the era. Imagine it on the front of "Tweedy Pie" or "Outlaw".  This wheel can also be found today gracing 1960's pony cars like Cougars, Mustangs.

For use on most 1/24-1/25 scale plastic models. Includes 4 plastic chrome rims and 4 black vinyl tires. Diameter = 1 & 1/16 inches or 27 millimeters.  Width = 5/16 inches or 6 millimeters.

Crossbars with Wide White Walls

PGS-1127W  Crossbars with Wide Whitewall Tires  $8.90

The Crossbar wheel is no stranger at the car show.  This iconic wheel cover that first appeared on mid-fifties Dodge Lancers has been dressing up heavy fifties lead sleds ever since.  This wheel looks great on 1948 Fords, 1950 Olds,1949 Mercs, or wherever your imagination takes you.

For use on most 1/24-1/25 scale plastic models. Includes 4 plastic chrome rims with separate Crossbar "Knock-Offs" and 4 black vinyl tires. Diameter = 1 & 1/16 inches or 27 millimeters.  Width = 5/16 inches or 6 millimeters.
