Wheels are from Fernando Pinto on ebay. FPPModelos makes some very nice 1/24 models and also sells the wheels separately.
Ebay seller crazycar19

Excellent result. It shows that thorough-going and consistent attention to detail can yield an impressive model.
The step by step photos show much of how you did it, but inquiring minds want to know: 1) How did you do the rivets after applying the paint (surface decals?); 2) How did you do the white decals? and 3) What did you finally source the rear view mirrors from?
Also, given the overall quality the model, IMHO the Fernando Pinto wheels were well worth the expense!
