Well it wasn't too bad - I measured the wheels/ribs & drew out those guides & printed them onto the tracing paper, which makes the cutting out of the dots much easier
Yes, I agree (I think) that my 'test' wheels do bear a good resemblence to those on R-No's picture.... but on other pictures of Masami's car i'm not so sure

... but R-No's picture is also probably the most 'crisp' of the images i've seen.
Big problem I have is that I attempted to dye my white wheels last weekend - after a successfull test run with an old white AE wheel I took the plunge & stuck in my wheels - unfortunately I think I left them in for just that little bit too long and they've come out virtually red

They are a lovely vibrant colour but unfortunately the
wrong colour..... so it looks like i'm going to have to source another set of virgin white wheels

.... Reggie, did you ever find that ratio/recipe from when you achieved a good match??
@ Jose' I suppose those towers would come in handy for raising a few $$s for future projects for you..... there's actually a front tower on ebay at the moment. Good idea for contacting Hirosakasan - there's probably a few questions i'd like to ask of him - especially with regard to the colours on the shell - like is the green metallic & are the coloured areas painted in flourecents?? By the way how are you? - did you move away from Japan in the end or are you still living there?
