View Full Version : Alfa w/Painted Rims Lummox 09-09-2007, 02:04 AM The ONLY Mattel wheel that I can stand ~ barely http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t32/Lummoxed/ALFAWHEELS.jpg SMS88 09-09-2007, 03:32 AM The paint makes those wheels look like 1970s alloys :thumbsup: I will have to do the same when I get a loose example. If a wheel has to be hard plastic then this design is the only one that I have seen that can challenge Mattelīs original redline design and Lesneys two peice chrome hubs late 1960s offering for sheer attractive design. I do like Mattels thick rubber real riders (not low profiles) fitted to HW t-hunts of old (like 2006 69 Charger) and premium ranges Lummox 09-09-2007, 01:14 PM '70s alloys ~ exactly what I was thinking. I was thinking more in modern times, but I guess it does challange those older rims. Love the wires the best like on #s 32,73, & 75 :thumbsup: I'm not familiar with those particular real-riders, does the axle poke through the center? Guntownal 09-09-2007, 07:09 PM Looks good Lummox. I still haven't found that car yet. 426cu 09-09-2007, 10:32 PM Very Nice! I got a few this weekend, thinking of doing something to one of them.

Yes it does but the axles are sufficiently short so as not to have much excess length so they look just like real centre caps vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2012, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
