The
Bearing Style is reproduced 3 sizes;
Large, medium and small. They have a shinny chrome mag center. The
wheels is connected to a small white delrin bearing on the end of the
axle set. These were the first wheels Mattel put on the redlines. Most
Common Wheel for Redlines manufacture between 1968 - 1969. |
The
Deep Dish Wheels are attached to the axle
the same way the bearing style is attached. They have a deeper inset and
were found on very few Redline Cars. The Chrome finish is not as shinny
as the other wheels. They have more of an aluminum look to them. They
come in medium and small only. |
The
Snap-on or Cap style was only produced in
Large and medium wheels. They have a shinny chrome mag center.. They
snap on to a round hub that is attached to the end of the axle. It can
be compared to the lid of Tupperware fitting onto a Tupperware bowl.
They have a snap fit |
The
Permanent wheel is not reproduced and we do
not sell them. They are fastened on permanently to the axle. You can not
replace them with out taking the wheel off the axle. We do sell complete
axle sets that will fit on these types of cars. Most Redlines from
1973 and on have these wheels or a combination of this wheel on
the front and the Caps style for the rear. |
