Wheelswap Wednesday

101 things to do, but surely they can hold back for a simple wheelswap, right?

MBX messed up the wheels as well the name of the car in packaging, with the BoM Giulia. I could not correct the latter, but gave a shot at first.

Quite a few experiments on this; made the first custom axles (after desperate efforts to extract the wheel - axle setup failed dishearteningly, and resorted to the easier way), and checked out how the lace looks with blackened recesses. Still the custom axle setup is not perfect; wheel locking mechanism is quite ad-hoc and could go bust at any moment.

Any tips and tricks on extracting the wheels with axles intact from metal bases will be quite welcome! :-)

Thanks for stopping by! Have an awesome week ahead!
