Custom Wheels
Can you get custom wheels, aside from buying another model and using the wheels from it?

Yes. Both Fujimi and Aoshima sell aftermarket wheel sets. Go to Hobby Link Japan (surprise!) and see a grand assortment. Some don't have pix, though, so you have to know what the real-life wheels look like.

That's what sucks about this car, the back wheels have poly caps right in the wheels, but the front ones have pins through the wheels. Plus, they are different widths, so I can't really do custom wheels on these. I think I'd get some for a Stealth or something. Actually, would they work at all on ERTLs? They're totally different, aren't they?
BTW, I PMed you...
