    Looks great Glen. Personally, I think the wheels being darker looks better than if they were the same shade. Gives it contrast and makes it look meaner 👍

    Great work Glenn, you might be able to change the gold by cleaning off a layer of the gold seem to be over anodized. Also you need the new Kyosho Le Mans gold motor.

    Get the carbon top deck for it Glenn, it's another upgrade well worth doing to lift the look of the chassis. A total stunner of a chassis for sure.

    Nothing wrong with the different shades of gold on the wheels at all. A little contrast punches things up a bit. When people get caught up in making everything match perfectly, they can end up doing it a disservice and leave things rather bland.

    It's certainly very , very pretty Glenn. The wheels can/could have the anodising removed or partially removed but to me, they look cool man!! Love the Marwan tyres too, and your tyre writing is superb. The Bridgestone tyres are a must on a car of this standard!! As you know, I love Optima's of all types to drive and look at, but I think this maybe very special when it's complete! Thumbs up Bud!

    The Pargu store sells the side guards in "gold" and in "Kyosho gold". So they know that there is a difference in color saturation. The wheels are only available in "gold". Once they were in Kyosho gold but it seems they changed it some time ago. Still it looks very nice. I am curiously waiting to see your finished Turbo Optima body shell.
