Customizing Die Casts......
Hey guys,
I am interested in customizing some of my die cast cars, I was wondering if there are any complanies that sell individual pieces such as wheels for 1:18 cars, or do I have to steal them from another die cast?
Thanks.

If you want to repaint them in crazy colors of flames, I can do that. A friend of mine owns a real auto body / paint shop. Therefore, I bring them down to his shop and he sprays my models for me (He is as good as a professional model builder). If you are interested let me know. Or see if you local shop will paint them for you.

Also try RC shops as the wheels and tires in the accessories section usually have some that fit.
You can find a lot of sites that have resin wheels like this one
