Hey guys
Masters productions have a set of resin replacements for the HB WMIK. I don't know anything about their accuracy but they seem to be the first offering. Thought I'd post a link since I hadn't seen them mentioned here before:

They look pretty nice. Shipping kills me to the US- $25 shipping for $15 wheels

I agree with you there jason, they look a lot better than the HB offerings, but the shipping costs are a bit steep. I cant seem to find they're website and it appears that Masters Productions are a small french company who apparently only sell through Blast Models.
Bit of a shame really. Maybe someone will be able to shed some more light on it.

I just tried to order a set, but says I have to order $29 USD worth of stuff to place on order; I could use 2 sets, but still have to buy more items I do not want--plus shipping and handling?? I'll just leave my wheels loose and look elsewhere to replace later.

Yeah thats one of the annoying things about the blast site. Still I'm sure you could find something you want there. Or you could buy me a set instead
These guys also stock the range, but they don't list this item yet. Maybe contacting you guys could contact them to see if they will get the set soon.

Thanks for the RJ products tip; have ordered from them before, but not for awhile. Will check them out. As much as I like to help others out--you are on your own to get a set for yourself! Cheeky fellow!!
