Did you find? By chance I came across this, and it's not indicated as out of stock. (?) https://www.mpoplarlc.com/index.php?mai ... _id=276865

Re: New wheels for Norev Porsche 930
Congratulations Marcel, you achieved an excellent result there. . . and righted a wrong! Why do some makers equip their products with either incorrect or the least-attractive option wheels? I recently bought a Welly 1:18 911 Carrera 2.7 RS, which I think is generally of reasonable quality and is goo...

Re: Cult 1:18 Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ
Thanks for taking the trouble to express your opinion JV. I have an Otto Lupo Gti in 1:18 with which I'm pleased, so your comment gives me a good point of comparison reference. I possibly shouldn't cavil at the Cult price, given that there's no other model currently in this scale of my very favourit...

Re: Cult 1:18 Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ
Thanks for moving my post - and sorry for not realising that here would be the correct location in the first place. I'm encouraged by your comments and may well order one today, especially as there is a current discounted price offer.

Cult 1:18 Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ
I worked in the Automotive Industry for 40 years, including for BMW, Alfa Romeo, Audi, VW and Chrysler. In that time and often based on great driving experiences, I considered several models special 'favourites', e.g. BMW 2002Tii, BMW 3.0CSL, Alfa Romeo Junior Z, Alfasud Sprint Veloce, Alfa 75 Twin ...

Re: Welly 1:18 Porsche 911 Carrera RS - #18044
Thanks Modifer - much appreciate you taking the trouble to reply and post your photos. That's as I found myself - as per my last post - and I suppose, as with most models, the important thing is to do any prying gently and progressively in order to avoid breakages. You model looks very nice - 911s a...

Re: Welly 1:18 Porsche 911 Carrera RS - #18044
As I haven't been able to contact anyone with this knowledge I have very carefully set about the wheel change, first taking the body off. I found that by gentle and patient prising the wheels and discs come off, having been simply an interference fit onto the axle stub sleeves. So this was easier th...

Re: Welly 1:18 Porsche 911 Carrera RS - #18044
Thanks Kraftig - much appreciated. In case there's a member familiar with Welly's practice generically, I'm posting pictures showing the front and rear wheels. If anyone can determine from these how the wheels should be removed, I'll be very grateful. Many thanks. https://i.ibb.co/VgMgBs5/DSC-0001-0...

Welly 1:18 Porsche 911 Carrera RS - #18044
I have just bought one of these (in green) this and am very pleased with it - great quality and attention to detail considering the relatively low price. However, I would like to replace the wheels with a different Fuchs pattern set I have obtained from another source. I am very concerned not to bre...
