haha.. I was gonna post that last night when you said you want to convert a hasegawa EG6 into the initial d one..
where are you gonna find those mugen wheels.
i think the only way you can get a set is to hand make them from scratch with putty :o I had to do that for my Volvo T5-R.. took forever to make

I would start with an American Muscle car wheel.
They have that sort of look!

You may just have to pick somethin close and fake it. :p

You are getting too fussy!
Forget putty too, your first project with the stuff should not be to build four wheels! You will get dis-heartened!
Go with the Impuls, or something similar that HLJ have in stock!

Actually, what I wanted to say was to use the putty to mod those Impul wheels. Oops, sorry for the misunderstanding there!:) Fill the holes in the to make it 4 nuts! hehe
Aren't we all fussy when it comes to making models:rolleyes:

Initially when I start a project yeah! But then as it progresses and I want it finished, I lower my requirements somewhat!:D

For me, I always end up re-drawing the instruction booklet:bloated:
