Got extremely bored tonight and decided to do a wheel and axle swap to a car that I've been waiting a long time for the right wheel to come along. I notriously despise the $19.97 WalMart hubcabs this car originally sported.

Before: Pic thanks to Wyatt's JL Collector website

After: Somewhat of a sleeper quality in my opinion anyway

Support your local demo derby.

Now that's how a well rounded sleeper candidate should look. ;) This just in, some vintage Mopar police cruiser is now missing some wheels. :D Side note, I think those wheels would look great on the '06 MB Vic as well.

Much better! Though I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of Dusters ended up wearing the $19.97 special Walmart rims towards the end of their useful lifespans...

Please post it in the nominations thread:

You absolutely cannot count on me to read every post on the forum. There's too much activity and I'm only one person. Everyone has to help me or I've got to discontinue the POTM feature. I know I missed some of July's nominations. I asked for clarification on what pictures and never got replies and lost track of the threads.

That was a good switch of wheels. Looks much more realistic now. Great job!

I agree in seconds it was transformed from a toy to a collectible.
