      Just got a bunch of new Hotwheels cars into my work.. they are called Hot tuners and the shells and rims are awesome.
      fat cadillac escalade. the Fnf Supra, sum fat focus’, a couple of civic coupe’s
      I dont hav and pics but Im sure they would b on the hot wheels website..
      I think the rims and shells altho diecats would look real shmick on a BCG

      Yeah I’ve seen tham as well man but I think the shells are just a few centimeters too long. The rims are pretty nice though.

      Yeah I know they are a bit long.. I just bought the escalde for $5.. I want to stretch a Bit chassis to fit the escalade and thos rims cos it would look absolutely gangsta

      Yeh , they are the ones.
      I’ve bought a few with the intention of putting a modified BCG chassis into them, they look hot.
      Havent got around to it yet, but that day will come.

      Plaster mold? Then cut it to shape for the length? I guess Vacuum would work as well. How wide are they?

      those look mighty nifty, im sure if you just want a real nice looken car and dont care about the performance you can go buy a zip zap and that would probably fit perfectly since zip zaps are longer:p

      yea we have had them in the states now for a while. the bodys on general are quite wide. but if you do the wheel mod correctly then you might be able to overcome this obsticale. the bodys are very heavy.. but if you can get a dual cell of possibly a tri cell under it. it might not do so bad. just dont expect any wheelies…

      tuners i have
      focus
      supra
      civic…

      dont think that, its not completely true, the only reason we get the hotwheel stuff is because its an american brand i think. Japan toys you guys can get in the store we have to import and its a pain.

      check out the red and white celica in the top right hand corner, i did that wheel swap months ago using the rims off the blue skyline hot tuner. looks awesome but unfortunatly i used stinky clone nuckles that didn’t fit into my nice tomy skyline

      toys “r” us was getting one hot tuner car with every box of muscle machines, u had to be lucky to get them as collectors hunt constantly!!!

      they might look sweet but really are cosmetic, unlike a decent set of johnny lightning rims:smiley2:

      I was in toyworld today looking for these and had no luck. What kind of packaging am I looking for? does it look anything like the standard hotwheels package or is it bigger?
