Did you paint them or replace them?

- I replaced them, but repainted them, fabricate new hubs, and replace the black tires with white.   

I got the idea from Geoff, who had built a 1/24 Speedster model with wooden wheels - something that never occurred to me.   I always hated this Ford's original "too tick"  spokes.   I could've re-spoked five rimes, but I'm too lazy for that.  🙄 

This spoke wheel replacement  was a posted tutorial from over a year ago.   Here's a few highlights:

First, please correct the title - these are Minichamps. I bought my set directly from Ford and there were 13. I paid $273 for the set, including shipping. The bonus was the Ford GT. Here's my set, as received:

As for the UK/Europe set, I only have the Ford Cortina, which came my way via an auction win with multiple cars.

I have an extra Model T, if anyone is interested (10% fee going to this website, of course).
