I change the name of the model, it is an Hotbodies 12X from 2008. (personal mistake...)

My X RAY X12 from 2009 was like that, Shiny again ;)

Jerome,
awhile back I was kinda screwed out of a car from a guy in Romania(?). He had a couple pair of front alloys for pan cars but when I searched through his saved wheels it brought me to I guess ebay Europe that had a bunch of 1/12 scale alloys. most wouldn't ship to the USA and I don't really have a need for any at the moment or then so I just assumed they would still be around. You search through oople at all or any of those other type places? I rarely see any 1/12 scale alloys on this part of the globe.
