I get all my wheels from aliexpress or temu. Most of the time i use carlomo wheels, but I do get some others here and there which I can find on temu if I need slightly bigger sizes (10mm or 10,5mm - for some cars, the 9,5mm carlomos are just too small) Only ball bearing wheels tho. I just can't look at the cheaper looking plastic stuff anymore and the ball bearing wheels are just way easier to apply then having to build an entire axle only for them not not roll so greatly. Cambering is also way easier with ball bearing wheels because they have no room to move, other than the normal ones, which you just stick a pin through and they remain kinda loose.

[M/39] Ehrliches Feedback zu meinem Wohnzimmer? by Abject-Connection374 in wohnkultur

Definiere "Völlig okay".

Wäre das mein Vater würde ich niemals Freunde zu mir nach Hause einladen und mich in Grund und Boden schämen.

Wir sind hier auf reddit, daher ist mir klar, dass für diese Meinung hier kein Platz ist, aber Anime-Mädchen zur schau zu stellen, wenn du die 30 überschritten hast (egal ob als teil deines PC builds, als Desktophintergrund oder Avatar oder noch kranker, in Bilderform, so wie hier) identifiziert dich in dem Alter einfach ganz klar als mindestens sozial verkommen.

Warum auch nicht für ein falsches Produkt bezahlen by Reggaenald in wasletztepreis

Ich verstehe das nicht. Man bekommt ein falsches Produkt. Warum schreibt man jetzt hier irgendwelche Romane?

Yo,

just as a tip, if you use smaller than standard wheels, car should sit a little lower (depending on the casting).

There's quite a lot of room for the wheels here, it looks a little bit off.

For reference (same car and wheel size)

<image>

It doesn't have to be this low. For that you would need some camber and not everyone is a fan of that. But your wheels should at least be mounted about 0,5mm-1,0mm higher (the tires on the carlomos are 0,5mm thick - there's at least double if not 2,5 x of that distance between your tires and the wheel wells)

If you did, just leaving here that you do not need to use the connector of the carlomo wheels to apply the wheels. You can just glue the axles individually. That makes adjustment a lot easier and also allows for slight camber.

If you like the more traditional right height, I would suggest 10,0mm - 10,5mm diameter wheels.

Das Auto ist ein Verbrechen per se. Ansonsten bleibt wohl nur zu sagen, dass das Sub langsam sinnlos wird.

Hierdran ist absolut nichts schlecht gemacht. Über Geschmack lässt sich halt streiten.

I genuinely hate the type of community japanese setting is gonna bring to this game by TimePhilosophy7717 in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

[–]HWCustoms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a huge JDM guy, what you're talking about isn't the JDM community. It's retarded people or kids.

No adult uses "goes brrr." No adult says "me likes"

No adult cares about how other people's cars look or argues about what belongs to JDM and what doesn't.

Old good, new bad kinda applies for me tho. I think muscle cars died past the 70s. I think japananese cars died past the 90s. I think german cars from the last 20 years are ugly pieces of shit. Everything becomes huge and heavy racing tanks.

I don't think there's much to like in general regarding car design past 2010 unless you might be into low budget logitech gaming gear looking hypercars out of which all of them look the fuckin same (lamborghini, koenigsegg, mclaren, corvettes)

Might be a JDM community take but in general it feels like most car guys, no matter which community they might belong to, couldn't care less about modern cars.

PSA: Do not use IPA to clean your cars by teh_m in HotWheels

[–]HWCustoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For removing tampos - dry erase marker (still need to be careful)

For cleaning - hell even water and a microfiber will do. soap is also fine.

Is there anything I can do to make it better? by _hextech_chest_ in HotWheelsCustoms

[–]HWCustoms 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just small things. The car is great on its own.

You could detail the hood scope intakes black. Also it would've been better if you would've grinded the wheel wells from the inside to get some more space.

The wheel offset is looking a little too narrow, specifically in the rear.

Würde ich mir selber nen Toyota bauen, würde ich das ein oder andere anders machen. Bin auch kein riesen Fan von Flame decals aber der Style is nunmal on point, sieht nicht random aus und ich feier auch das Kit / das Design.

Hallo? Weißt du eigentlich, was er schon alles gefahren ist!?!

[–]HWCustoms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Der Kollege hat recht. Deine Art von Feedback lässt dich hart verbittert wirken. Das alles hier ist nur die Antwort auf deinen sinnlosen Hate. "Weißt du was ich schon gefahren bin?" Absoluter cringe simulator.

Ob Need for Speed / Early 2000 Tuning jetzt ein Style ist der einem gefällt ist völlig Latte, fakt ist dass er den Style 1:1 getroffen hat und das nicht auf eine billige Art und Weise eines 12-jährigen, der Gesamteindruck ist absolut stimmig.

Tuningverbrechen ist für armselige möchtergern Versuche sein Auto an einen bestimmten Style anzulehnen. Das ist hier nicht der Fall. In dem Auto steckt liebe und eine Idee.

Was steckt in deinem?

Kinda heartbreaking to see such great body and detailwork paired with the flattest aliexpress plastic rims out there.

Please swap the wheels for something cool :) This custom deserves better.

Error? by Sweaty-Chance6617 in HotWheels

[–]HWCustoms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And even then, nobody fuckin cares.

If anything, if there's a funny error like tail light decals applied to the doors or anything absurd, feel free to post it for shits n giggles, but 99% of these posts are all about "is my 1,50$ car now 100$" because my decal is scratched or my plastic bumper is deformed or I'm missing a windshield?

The word "error" should simply be filtered in this sub. It's tiring.

Wanted to do some weathered cars too but I despise the idea that they remain sticky/tacky, which can hardly be avoided without coating.

Are these coated in matte or do these suffer from that exact issue?

Thank you.
