Oops! Yep, I meant the 8448, which is the second model this year to

Yes, I really agree with you on that. In this fashion, the oldest of
the "Supercar" wheels, the wheels from 8865

My fav wheels are probably the ones from the Barcode Truck and the Black

These wheels look very realistic, they are fairly large, and they are
useful for many kinds of vehicles.
