Well you can start by looking at walmart or target.

Then if you really want to get them online just look at any diecast online store.

They're really easy to get off the die-cast. Mounting them on your car is a little bit harder.

The fronts are pretty easy. I just use a scribe to poke a hole in the front, being careful to keep it centered. The backs are a little trickier, because it's a little harder to glue them on the axle, so they are straight when they spin.

Also you should note that the tires that come on those rims are really hard, so you'll need to put bit, or Zip Zap tires on them. They are just a tad too narow for the bit tires so they want to slip behind. I sawed bit rims in half, and used those to widen my rims. Then they were the right width for the tire, but the tire sunk down in the middle, so I superglued a piece of solid core wire to the rim, to push the tire up in the center. now my tires have a nice flat contact patch, and stay on fine too.

Here's my car with dem same rims.

It's a sharp pokey tool, for scratching words into metal, but I use it to poke things.

I just use a finishing nail, and if it doesn't spin too well, I CAREFULLY use a dremel to make it spin better.
