CAN ANYONE help me ACHIEVE THIS?

It looks like a simple wheel swap.

Theres a ton of links in the DX Custom Tutorials detailing wheel removal/replacement.

thanks, but sometimes i dont have the patience when i mess up or so.. you guys really make it easy. for the past couple of years, i've only bought and collected the cars. when i went on ebay, thats when i started to see all these cars for sale that people did. i searched the net for ways to remove wheels, and here i am: been avidly looking at this site everyday since i signed up! thanks!

Glad your enjoying the site. :cheers

If I may make a suggestion. If this is your first mod, why not try a wheel swap on a donor model, this way it will make good practice and if you mess it up...its only a donor and not a good model.

Best of luck with it, can't wait to see the finished product.

Hi there. Unfortunatley I haven't got the time at the moment to get any picts, but the wheels can be ordered form Collectible Diecast (look under accessories). You can get them with spinners or without. The ones on the SL are NOT spinner equipt. I have put these wheels on to Ertl trucks. I removed the truck wheels, sawed off the "spindle"/"axle" in front of the brake calipers then guled on (after carefull lining up) the brake calipers that come with the wheels. Then I place the wheels into the calipers and there you have it. My wheels DO fall off if you "play" with the model but the do turn and they look fine when displayed. Hope this helps, I will try to get some picts soonish.

thanks

Peter

depends on what brand is that SL...
