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).

Just colored the Cabbin Fever wheels with a Sharpie

I used to hate the Speed Blaster casting because I thought it looked terrible with the chrome or blue window/engine. I've been chucking the castings into the scrap box after ripping off the red rim comolds. With the window & engine painted this way, I kind of like it and may do some customs with it in the future.

Nice job on all of them! I have quite a few of the "Racing" castings myself, so i enjoyed looking at your pics. Thanks.
