    As far as I know, they never made a 1/8 A kit and nothing like stock A wheels for 1/8.

    Lindberg's t-bucket 3 in 1 kit had wire wheels that are almost like ford wheels. Closer than pocher, but then they don't have the spoke detail that pocher's wheels had.

    the pocher wheels will work for now, so he'll keep those until he finds the exact ones.

    thanks for the leads.

    I thought I just read that they are going to be re-releasing all the lindberg 1/8 scale kits this year. Can't remember how many but I think there were 3 or 4 kits.

    Yep, they should all be coming out this year, I think 2nd quarter. There was the single-twin engine dragster, and a 3-in-1 t-bucket. There was two other variations of the t-bucket, but without the cool extra parts.

    Yep, the dragster and bucket are 1/8th scale. I heard that the 3 in 1 kit with the spoke wheels will be back, but I can't confirm positively.
