Hot Wheels Wheels

[dburdyshaw]

I once saw these "Hot Wheels" wheels at a car show ---- and always thought that I'd someday want some just like them. That day has come ---- but I'm having no luck finding them online. Needless to say, searching for "Hot Wheels" brings up the toys. I've even searched for "Hot Wheels Rims" -- "Hot Wheels Wheels" -- "Hot Wheels Center Caps". I've even gone to tire websites (Tire Rack, Discount Tire, etc) and tried using "Hot Wheels" to search within their sites.

I should note that it's not necessarily the actual wheel that I want. It's the "Hot Wheels" center cap.

If anyone can help me, I'd seriously appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

They are called 'Hot Wheels Sixty-Eight' by KMC. Not sure if you can buy just the center cap.

Search Hot Wheels Sixty-Eight

I think they only make the 'nova' in it's place.

[dburdyshaw]

Searching it now. THANKS!

Wow ---- that brought up lots of links. I'm going to be busy for a while.

[Agent007]

Not a problem!

Here's a link to the KMC Novas.

I'm still looking around at the KMC website ---- though most of these websites aren't the most user-friendly for finding stuff ---- but I'll keep looking.

One link I found was for a forum and someone mentioned that they are discontinued.

My first thought was to put these on my Suzuki X-90 ---- though maybe they could go on my '80 Coupe.

Another thought was to put them on the '65 Lincoln ---- but that's doubtful.

I'm gonna need help. I don't understand all this backspacing stuff. I believe that the X-90 has 15s on it ---- though 16s might be a possibility. Maybe I could give it a 1" or 2" lift.

[dburdyshaw]

Doing a search at the KMC website to see what they have that fits a '96 Suzuki X-90 brings up eight choices ---- and none of them are the Hot Wheels rims.

[BigSkyGT]

I think those look very cool.

[dburdyshaw]

I think those look very cool.

They'd be extra cool on redlines ---- though I'm not thinking redlines on the X-90.

[Agent007]

Did you find the KMC Novas? Go to the kmc website link that I posted and click on 'passenger cars' in the left margin. Go to page 3 of the rims in passenger cars, the Novas were the Sixty Eight replacement.

[BigSkyGT]

I am diggin' the redlines.

Yes ---- I see the Novas ---- but I'm not seeing the Hot Wheels centercap on them ---- and that's the part that I really want.



When I was thinking about having the X-90 repainted, I thought about having the Hot Wheels logo painted on it. A buddy of mine suggested Tonka.

[downtime!]

We had a guy from Michigan do the Hot Wheels 68's in black, with redline tires, on his 2005 Mustang back in 2007. I always liked them -

[dburdyshaw]

WOW ---- I really like that one. I like the flames on the black. I like the redlines. I definitely like the wheels.

Am I seeing louvers on the rear window?

I'm still hunting -- though not with much luck.

Yep, louvers in back as well. She was called The Mistress and had a 350 hp supercharged V6. Nice car, he even added the Glassback option roof.

[dburdyshaw]

Dang! All that and "Hot Wheels" wheels, too. I really want some.

Where's tiredood or one of our other helpful experts?

I'm looking, but I'm not finding them.

[downtime!]

The were discontinued a few years ago. Ebay, CL and pure luck to find a set now. They were very popular with the import crowd back in the day, so you might check any local rice forums in your area.

Now I'm sad.

[downtime!]

Now I'm sad.

Don't be, Nissans have the same bolt pattern and there weren't many decent wheels back then.

Nissans have the same bolt pattern as the Suzuki?

[downtime!]

Nissans have the same bolt pattern as the Suzuki?

No, same as the Mustang 5 lug, 5 on 114.5

Lol... I found this while searching for an extra wheel or two.
the funny thing is, I picked them up from a Mustang owner.
mine are in great shape, and I really dig em. Just. need. one. More.
I have them installed on my 73 Challenger.
