If you want to I can post a pic of the wheels...

By the way, this kit is manufactured in Red.
Thanks, the LP500S has completely different wheels than the LP400.

I've been told by Veyron that the original wheels for the LP400 were 17mm, the same as my 90's reissue (I said tires in my 90's reissue were P7's but that's just the tread look, the tires are unmarked). So the wheels in the new reissue are new, and I assume the tires are as well. It's disappointing that they're a scale inch too small in diameter at just over 15mm. The old versions were 17mm, same width front/rear. The new wheels/tires are wider in the rear. I'm glad I have a set of the 17mm wheels and the new tires will fit them. In reality the wheels should be about 16.5mm.
