Hello,

I am building a BMW 850i kit (plastic) and as the rims supplied with kit are way too small I was thinking about slamming Viper rims on the BMW.

The Viper I want to use is the Burago 1/24 Viper.
However, I can not get the wheels off it...

How can I get those wheels off without damaging them?

I would use a dremel cutting tool or a hot knife.( But thats just me)

Thanks for your answer.
However I do not have a dremel.
So I must use a hot knife then...

How must I use it? Wouldn't it melt the rims?

Well first u heat the knife. Then cut about 1 inch away from the wheel( since the knife is hot ) Or closer if ur careful. Then sand down the rough edge and just gule the wheel to the other cares axel. Or you can make ur own custom axel.
