Build your own custom Hot Wheels with casting-specific DIY projects for painting, detailing and assembly. Each listing identifies the exact casting and shows the project components included with that kit.

Choose the right DIY Hot Wheels kit

Start with the casting you want to build, then compare the listing photos, body shape, chassis, wheel openings and included parts. Contents vary by product, so confirm the exact components on the individual listing before ordering.

Wheels and rubber tires are sold separately

DIY kits do not automatically include custom wheels, rubber tires or upgrade axles. Shop Hot Wheels and Matchbox wheels and tires separately and match wheel diameter, tire clearance and axle fit to the selected casting.
