Cool beans! I love the wire wheels, They look vastly superior to the wire wheels provided in most dragster kits.

Thanks. Yeah, those wire wheels from Curt Raitz really do the business. He makes them in diameters for 1/24th, 1/25th. and 1/16th scales. They're relatively affordable, too, at between $30-45 + shipping depending on diameter. He sells on eBay as crtr8z or buy direct by emailing him at [e-mail].
