Finally bought a Javelin!!

[Grunger73]

I seem to remember you could buy those chrome outer wheel halves as an option part...I never had a Javelin, only an Optima, Turbo Optima & Salute, but I have a set of those chromed wheels. Unfortunately the rims are pretty scuffed up on them.

In that case, I would love to find a set for my Optima shelf queen. Actually , I'd be extremely happy to find a set of regular Optima wheels in good condition for a not so eBay price.

*EDIT* Sorry, turns out the wheels are Beagle wheels (The Optima's ugly step brother)

I put those Javelin wheels I have in my for sale thread if anyone's interested:

Great score on the Javelin mate, good price too considering what they go for NOS. I've got 2 myself, (among others-check my links below) both 2nd hand from ebay and in pretty good condition. I managed to find a set of NOS wheels and tyres (not cheap!) that I planned on using for a shelf queen.

Hopefully they'll re-release the Javelin after the Optima.

Beautiful car!

I kick myself every time I see a Javelin!

Back in the day, my cousin had a Javelin and I only went to see him once a year before Christmas. Every year I'd ask him to sell me the car. Finely about the third year he sold it to me.

I then proceeded to do a belt drive conversion and race it. Soon after that I swapped the roll bar out for an Optima body and threw the orange roll bars away...

The only thing I have left of that car are two of the chrome wheels.

I had 2 javelin as a kid, I still have both cars... but the cages are gone, I have no clue what happened to then.

You can see me and me Javelins here: http://kyosho-optima.com/about.html

Happens to everyone.
