for a lowrider you could get one of the large DubCity cars that has spinner rims and put them on..........it would look pimp on a lowered coustome civic, supra, or anything!

The ones with the spinners are 18th scale and the wheels are WAY too big.

Darn! I was about to buy one at Target. Oh well. Does anyone know what brand of toy cars have wheels that will fit on XMODS?

As to finding a model i found one yesterday its on hobbypeople.net and its on a caddy escalade chromed out i think its like 21.99 or sumthin you could prob mod the wheels to fit cus they r 1/24 scale and should fit without modding:)

should fit? sorry i doubt that the wheels have that d shape hole in them that the xmods have. but i have found an easy fix to make just about any rim fit on an xmod. just cut out the center hub of one of the rims that you dont like. miunt it on the xmod. then fidn some plastic washers and glue them on the rim pice till thye stick out over the edge of the axel. then glue the rim to them. it makes it harder to change rims in the future but it makes it nice for a "show" car.

Yes but the only thing is if someone wants to interchange them frequently all u would have to do is use a rotory tool or something carefully.

if the hole in the rims is smaller than the xmod axle or if there is no hole at all (ie. XS tuning) just take out one of the front axles, heat them up, and stick them through the wheel. you'll have the perfect hole

i wouldn't do that you might melt the rim or take it out of shape i am going to make a tutorial soon since i was the first person to do it i am going to show everyone else
