Ahhh I see.

Will the BBS wheels fit my Escort Cab project? How do I go about it? Is it case of small screws or cut and glue?

Do they do RS1600i graphics?

old wheels come off by taking the tyre off then getting a thin screwdriver or a stanley blade behind the wheel trim and pop it off then there is a screw behind then, but when u put new wheels on they have to be glued anyway
oh and they can do almost any graphics u want just ask them

I think a set of wheels from a 1:18th Burago Bugatti EB110 would look good (they go for around £5 to £10 on e-bay,only prob is the rear wheels are wide & may need cutting in half,the fronts though are fine
