My son is demanding alloys... - Team-BHP

Samurai · 14th June 2005, 15:35

My 4.5 year old son into cars, big time. He has fallen in love completely with our new Black Car (Baleno) as he calls it. Everytime we get out of the house he demands we take the Baleno and not the Santro. Today afternoon he was holding his Mustang (hotwheels) and was staring at the Baleno. Then he realised what made his Mustang look dull. He pointed at the rim of the toy Mustang and then at the Baleno alloys and demanded he wants the same shiny wheels on the toy Mustang...

Does anyone know where I can get a quote for a set of 4mm alloy wheels?

Good find Shan2nu. However, I don't think hotwheels tyres can be replaced with after market parts.

Shan2nu · 14th June 2005, 15:50

I bet Nitroxx would fancy these wheels, on his toy car. LOL

Well in this case, I guess a new car is in order........... you could try Modelart at The Forum.... He can chose the car whose alloys he likes!

Dippy · 14th June 2005, 15:59

What scale is his model anyways Samurai? Nowadays you get kits with 2 sets of alloys

Shan2nu · 14th June 2005, 16:01

I think hot wheels are usually 1:32 - 1:24 scale.

Samurai i suggest you pick up a car from model art and take it home your self
cause taking a 4 and hlf year old to model art can give the parents shocks once the kids picks his stuff.

samurai sweet son you got there man, love the modern day kids for their imagination and demands

Samurai sir ,

i think you should introduce your son to XMODs RC's ...
am sure he will love them (you 'll love it too ! )..you can custom everything in them alloys , body kits , AWD conversions ,lights everything can be modded ...

Arre Samurai! We have the first baap-beta members coming up soon from your house, it seems. Wow, congrats!

shravan316 · 14th June 2005, 21:22

I agree v1p3r! It would be really cool.. baap-beta both on Team-BHP.

While in the topic of future BHPians, i had a 3 yr old cousin over at my place yesterday... now apparently his uncle had promised him to get him a Swift toy, as this guy was asking for it from the past few days. So, yesterday when his unc came over at our place.. he obviously couldn't find a scale model of the Swift as yet.... oh boy! was he in for a treatment! He wasn't allowed into the house until he promised he'd get it today.. the kid was crying out loud as if the world has come to an end!

Today, god help his uncle!

heavy_foot · 15th June 2005, 01:30

if the uncle is smart enough he will get a mini cooper toy for the kid ..lol

X-Machine · 15th June 2005, 02:14

You've got great autp-enthusiast at home too.......
