10lbs of Wheel Swaps
Over the winter I did a lot of wheel swaps. I finally got around to photographing them. I will post over the next few days. For models of real cars I tried to pick wheels that make the car look more authentic (e.g. if the real car has 6 spoke wheels I tried to find 6 spoke to swap). Obviously I could not find the right wheels for some cars.
In addition to wheel swaps, for most cars I also:
* Removed chrome (I hate chrome) and painted silver (or other color)
* Added detail such as headlights, tail lights, blacken openings, etc.
* Painted interior and engine (if visible).

No wheel swap, just painted interior & inside of translucent body
