Understand the 10 mm front and 12 mm rear reference

The listed factory wheel reference is 10 mm front and 12 mm rear. The front and rear sizes differ, so keep the position in mind when planning replacement wheels. The reference describes the listed factory setup and does not guarantee every replacement will fit. Compare diameter, width, axle length, inner spacing, and body clearance for your exact casting.

Dry-fit the parts before painting or final assembly. Check that the components seat correctly and that the wheels turn without rubbing. The kit is designed to click together, and adhesive may be used for extra hold. Follow the directions and safety guidance for the paint and adhesive you choose for your build.

Review variations before ordering

Wheel style, interior color, and window color may vary. Review every current gallery image and the listing notes to see the visible configuration. The listing is for the DIY kit shown, so plan to complete the paint and finishing work yourself. If a specific variation matters, ask the shop what is currently available.
