I've noticed a few of you guys using wheels and tyres from the Muscle Machine Cars. I picked one up one of the new ones today at Wal-Mart, a Mitsubishi Lancer with tri spoke wheels. Looking at them I thought the wheels would be the same size as the Micro rears (want to do a full wheel mod on my bB) but they are actually the size of the fronts. They're perfect for those that want to lower-rider their cars. I did notice this had a Chrome muffler & tail pipe ????
Now I've seen the aluminum "mufflers" go for $9.00. I can't see spending that amount for a non-functioning part to dress up a Micro. The Muscle Machine costs $2.99 and the spoiler, wheels, & muffler can all be used as custom Micro mods.
So rush out to your nearest Wal-Mart and get yours today!!!!!

No fit problem if you use the small wheels. Now the body will need to be Dremel'd if you want to use the Larger rear wheels/tyres as you can see in Noxork's pics. I'm tring to find some Muscle Machine wheels that are the same size as the Micro rear wheels. The one's I got yesterday are the same size as the Micro fronts which is perfect for "low-ridin" but not what I was looking for.

I did have to cut my rear fender to fit the big wheels in the back.
Just a small moon cresent around the wheel-well.

are you all just totally against playing doctor and using an x-acto knife?

no not at all, the most fun I had with a xacto was when I accidentally had mistaken my thumb for a the plastic leg of a model zaku and split it like a bananna...
