Any suggestions on rims? I really don't like the stock ones.

This kit comes with 18" TE37 Volks Mag, pretty cool.

Just an idea, would like to get away from wire like wheels and 6 spokes.

Oh, you mean you want it to look like this?

I like the look of the rims on the Lexus kit (the Lexus IS 200 is the only version of this kit w/LHD). I built this a few years back.

My only comment would be that it would look better lowered. Good choice if you ask me :cool:

None of mstngcobra's pics work for me...

Since this is my first model post, I would just like to say something. I have built about three model cars in my whole life. I think I am going to start this interesting hobby now. I see the work you guys do and most of it is truly amazing. If anyone has any advice for a newbie, please let me know. :flash:

Welcome, read the FAQ's and that should help a lot answering basic questions about building models.

If you want to see the pics he has posted, you can right click your mouse on the red X, copy the image URL, and paste it in the address line above and hit "go", and they will show up.
