I've finally started work on the Academy M10. It have different road wheels for the model. It had them labeled "Mid", "Late". Some have spokes some have spokes but are filled in and there are some solid, smooth wheels. What would be the correct configuration for a "Late" model M10? Anyone have some pics? Thanks.

I belive that the 'pressed' wheels (filled in between the spokes) are ok for both mid and late vehicles, and the 'smooth' wheels are for the late only. I've seen lots of pics with mixed wheel types, from when wheels are replaced during maintanence. Take your pick basically!

Thanks for the help. I'm using the pressed wheels and also the two "solid" wheels that came with the kit.
