Most model car wheels are attached with a single post in a hole.
If the wheel has the post and the suspension/chassis has the hole that accepts it, the wheel is male.
If the wheel has the hole to accept the post from the suspension/chassis, the wheel is female.
Some kits use one method, some the other. Is you want to use wheels from one type on a car from the other, you'll do best to change the attachment method.
