That's my kind of deal! I don't care much for painting either.

I really like that paint job - it's very similar to the scheme in the Champ and Team Car manuals.

I think the best route would be to find a set of white yokomo wheels and dye them blue..... but, if it were me, I would leave the pink wheels on the back. I kinda like them back there. I have never been a fan of painting over the windows, but for some reason it just seems to work on this one.

I like that. I would leave the wheels pink too. If you look back at old racing pics, everybody has sets of wheels that don't match. Either they are a different color or a totally different wheel.
