I picked up a 1/25 scale model kit of a '77 Monte Carlo today. I'm going to build it to look like mine, even though its the wrong year. It's the closest and only thing I'll find to mine. Anywho, it has custom chrome wheels with the kit. I want to put Rallys on it to look like my car. Anybody know of any hook ups to get some model Rally wheels? It has bucket seats too, and I'd like to find a bench seat for it too if possible. Thanks for any leads.

i used to love building models then i got a real car and thats how i became intrested in cars lol. cant say i ever built a g3 tho. but maybe they sell a corvette with the corvette rallys? look at all the model cars and see if any of them have rally wheels and buy it for the wheels and put the chrome ones that came with your monte on the other one.

Really trying to avoid buying an entire kit just for the wheels, becasue I know I'll never build it lol. Only reason I'm dong those on is becasue its close to my car.

I sure am, Sam. Need 'em for a 77 Monte Carlo I am building to look like mine. They have to attach with metal axles though. I am going to go to a couple hobby shops around town here and see if I can find anything. I'll post back later.
