So we have as much as three sizes of balloon tyres? Aw, all these
different Technic wheel! They make my mind boggle.

The rims, you mean? I'm not really a fan of the use of "chrome" wheels.
The 1998 sets had chrome wheels all around (8417, 8428 and 8462) and
looked kinda cheesy to me.

Yes, it's the red formula one car. I don't like it too much, but with
the parts included one can make independent front suspension. Well, you
need some shock absorbers as well, but all the other parts are included.
Of course, with the 1998-type steering gear, one can make independent
front suspension without any specialized parts. See, e.g.,

Yep, that's what I said. Reread the paragraph above, and you'll get
it. :-)
