Now, I will be using these wheels. They are rather large but hopefully will be fine when all painted up. Supposed to be 19" but look more like 20"s. They are TE37's.

They look a lot better in their new colour, metallic black.

They are easier to take apart than I thought. You do have to be careful no to break anything. The windows are thin & there is plenty of glue on some interior parts.

As they are made of resin, DONT use any paint strippers. I just rubbed mine down a bit & painted over it.

Update coming later as its now fully detailed.
