Default Matching full size and RC cars

I'm pretty close to having a 1/10 scale version of my real car but I need some matching wheels before It'll look close enough.I know theres a few guys out there that have scale versions of thier real cars and I bet they're pretty proud of em so I was hoping to see some pictures before I get mine done.Post em up if you have em and I'll hopefully have mine done real soon so I can share too.

Well,theres what they look like now but I'm taking those off in a month.

I'm gonna put a set of 17'' Team Loco 142's on there with a set of Falken 451's.The tread pattern on the tire will look almost identical to the tread on the HPI V-Groove radials so I'm set there...just need to find a set of 7 spokes now.

and heres a pic I've had for a long time but it just happens to have the same wheels on it...that car is so clean looking.
