Hello everyone, long time lurker first time poster.

I have recently started a 1:18 collection and figured I might as well start with my favorites first, I purchased a minichamps 92 DTM m3 in test car white, & I figured the perfect pair for that car would be its rally variant sibling.

Otto Mobile makes a beautiful version of Marc Duez's Monte Carlo entry, my only gripe being the wheels. The model features the newer version of the Speedline 5 spoke, that came to be after the original design proved prone to breaking. This isn't a huge problem, but one I would like to fix.

Here's a few photos from the race, that the car is modeled after:

And a better photo of the period correct wheels:

What I'd like commissioned:

I would like to find someone who would be willing to take on the project of:

-fixing and re-finishing the wheels (not sure if the existing wheels could be used as a starting point)
-repaint the body sans sponsorship livery, re-apply trim & markings

I'm not sure if this is a common service so any help pointing me in the right direction will be appreciated. Thanks again.
