im just suggesting the easiest way, if he really wanted it to be one off (more than it already is ) than use model kit wheels.

because i usually dont have what i need to make it unique. and the difference is that when i actually do a project i tend to actually finish it and make it look good. so yeah i think he should go with some custom rims.

It looks like its already dont, well almost done. Yeah, get rid of the rims, because it just doesnt look right with that body. But the best part that I like about it is the inline motor.
