Sorry for the blurry pic, as i took this pic before rushing for work this morning, it is from crazy modeller's PE Set, great stuff, the single nut can be loosen to detach the wheel from the brake, I have already test fitted on one of the wheels (above pic front wheel, i will post some pics later tonight)

I modified the wheels from the Ferrari F430 Option parts kit. To me, i think the acu-stion wheels are not as accurate as the ones from Fujimi. thanks!

Canneth, your modified wheels look fabulous. Did you modify even the outside diameter ?
I'm working on my Challenge http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=607746 but I'm not pleased with the kit wheels.

Bye: Robi :)

Interesting to see someone mod a standard kit to a challenge...
