Hot Wheels Wheel Swap Tutorial of 2019

I believe this to be the best looking end result for a wheel swap. Swap wheels with the factory look. Enjoy!

Before gluing the tube onto the base, use a file to cut a couple windows into the tube about 1/4" from each end (file about half way into the tube). You can then insert your wheels and axles from each end and secure them with a drop of CA glue into each of the windows.

The end result is worth the additional time and work.

Great tutorial. Perfect for the beginner or seasoned pro wheel swapper.

[revzillo]

Great tutorial. I'll, have to experiment with this when I get started. thanks 👍

That Celica is a great little casting. Too bad theyre tricky to find now..

I quite like those monoblock wheels, I might have to look into them. Currently I use Greenlight wheels.

I use the same method. Sometimes I'll crimp the tube instead of super glue. But mainly glue.

If you had to drill out the base, what size drill bit do you need?

Where can I find a good assortment of tires (preferably rubber) to buy for my swaps? I can't find a great place online so far. Thanks!

I like this method because it allows the wheel to spin on the axle.
Some methods glue one wheel to the axle, then the axle rotates, and that seems unreliable.
Still, I haven't done a wheel swap yet. I just stripped the paint from two bodies, then I'll repaint and do wheels and tires. :)

Well worth the invested time looks fantastic

[WetSnakes]

Awesome wheel swap method a lot better then just the crimped axle method thanks for sharing 😁👍🏼👍🏼

[JamesSanchez-gs]

Can you tell me where you purchased the turning stand?

[Hector-etzy]

Cool! I just picked up some of them nail looking nails lol and I know they will work 💯

[devlintaylor]

I want to try doing this but does anyone know of good wheel companys?

[MKZ]

How does one cleanly take wheels from a premium hotwheel with a metal base? Sometimes the prongs on the axles are to close for a screwdriver to pry apart

[nickg]

Can you give me the info or link to buy this small tubing cutter ! I ordered 3 of them so far and all of them are to big lol.

Great tutorial. For sure this is the most time consuming one yet most likely the best.

Looks like Mattel tries to make it difficult for people to modify their Hot Wheels/Matchbox cars on purpose.

Can I ask a question?
So can we screw out the base with a screw driver
