I am very impressed by the looks of the wheels. I disagree with those that think that the modified models are devalued. In this case, the modifications make the two models so much more realistic that I would pay extra and I would prefer them over non-modified models. I understand that there are some collectors that believe die-cast models are an investment (or maybe they are trying to find a justification for spending money in this hobby). However, if you want to invest, buy stock or real estate. To me, this hobby is about enjoying the models; and the more realistic they are the more I enjoy them.
Good job Jesus. I wish I had your talent.
