If Jada offered wheel & tire sets separately, would you buy them? I'm in the middle of customizing a bunch of my 1/24 Jadas and would love to buy some sets of the lowrider whitewall/wire wheel, the wide whites with the ribbed wheel cover, the '53 Caddy wire, the '47 Caddy cover, and the '59 Eldo cover.
What to you think?

actually a better idea would be to offer models with tire/wheel choices like the 1:18 that offered a 2 rim choice but makes this the stock ones and have the choice for the blingy ones ..... http://www.collectablediecast.com/ProductImages/JA53395.jpg
the car would come with stock regular rims and have the "jada style" optional ....

I like it. It really would do the trick, not to mention double Jada's sales to people like me who would want one with the stock wheels and one with the bling.

Jada Toys will never offer wheels and tires sold seperately. That would cut them off at the knees, as we all know it's the wheels and tires that do most of the jada selling. ;-) So they would lose many sales as some folks would buy just the wheels and tires to do a custom of a Hot Wheels or other.

Russ is right. The idea was discussed and passed over by Jada... You can get some whitewall & hub caps in the Road Rats series Jada offers... Jae

I've talked to guys in the toy car aisles who buy BTM cars just to get the tires and wheels to use on their custom projects.
