I love it. You got rid of those garish hub caps.

Looks nice! Hollis, any tips on 'how to' or 'who can' print ...

... custom license plates? I did this on one my home inkjet printer, but it is not as crisp as yours.

+1. Proof again that the 'right' whells make all the difference.

Billy, this car in this color combo is garish to start with, arguably ...

the chromed spokes wheels may look better, however the golden garish wheel were authentic and a nice detail I like about this model. IMHO the chrome wheels look dull if one has seen the car with the golden wheels. So what are the 'right' wheels in this case is debatable. I think Danbury did an excellent job by giving us the black/gold car with golden wheels and the purple one with chrome wheels. I do agree in general that the 'right' wheel make a big difference.

Chav Bosco's Garage did a couple of sheets for me a long time ago. Don't know if they really did them or had some one else make them. I have found some regular #'s plates that had Tx on them on E bay that I have bought and used. That all I can tell you.

+1, but a real beauty either way.

Looks SO much better w/the wire wheels and the rear side windows down.

I wish the lavender/plum convertible had the wires, too. I don't care for the caps and thinner wsw tires as compared the Sportsman coupe.

Looks good - aren't the wheels from the purple version? - did that get the gold hubcaps?

Wheels from a junker car. The gold caps had them chromed. Have not used them yet.
