I saw a wheel swap done on the 383 Custom Cuda and really liked it. I like the stock wheels much better, so I deceided to buy the Custom Cuda and do the wheel swap. This is why I started the thread about having extra wheels and tires in the Greenlight packaging. I'm happy with the stock wheels on the 383 Cuda.

Take the rubber tire off and pry the wheel off.

Pull the axel out with the other wheel attached to the axel. This is what you will have when both axels are removed.

The donor car that I used.

The stock wheels from the '70 AAR Cuda put on the 383 Cuda.

Now I have a nice purple 383 Cuda with stock wheels, and a '70 AAR Cuda with funky wheels. :p

If Greenlight would put extra wheels and tires in some packing, or sell wheel and tire kits, I'm sure some people would buy them.

Good for you, Stutz!
And you did it without busting up any rims ~ not easy to do - very good job.
Keep it up, I'd say you got what it takes. On to the next!

I could sure put many beautiful donor castings back on the "road" with some extra wheels.
JL needs to do it again but much better. Green Light could do it with a simple axle redesign.

I think the diecast companies read these threads more than we realize ~ it's free/instant market research after all.
So keep those ideas and wants etc. comming 'cause I'm sure this method has worked more than once.

I may buy a few more Custom Greenlight cars to do some more wheel swaps Lummox.

nice looking
