Diecast cars

I have seen some pictures over the Net that you can do some mods on your diecast cars [changing the wheels, etc]. Does anyone know where to buy the wheels for diecast models? Thanks Also, which brand of diecast cars is better to get [Hot Wheells, Maisto, Kyosho?]?

Here's a link for you for wheels.

Hope this helps! I've purchased a Maisto and I am content, I can't say it's better than Kyosho or Hot Wheels because Maisto is the only one I've purchased. I'm sure the Reps will be able to assist you as they take care of their Customers and guarantee satisfaction.

Good Luck!

Autoart is generally the best in quality, however they cost a bit more around 60 bucks. With the MB models they actually photoetch the front grill stars rather then crappy molded plastic like on the maisto models.

00 MB ML55, 91 Toyota Supra Turbo(sold), 06 E500(gone), 03 BMW M3
I find some of the Kyosho models are pretty nasty(good)... I have a MK4 supra 1:18 scale that is really good... it even goes as far as having fabric for carpeting and in the trunk there is floor board that lifts up to reveal a spare tire... very realistic and very well built.

Other models include an SL55, sl500(previous body style), the above mentioned supra, Ferrari GTO, and a dodge Viper. Not all are kyosho, currently im looking for an ML55!!!
