Best 1/18 599?

I think that the only company that makes a 1/18 model 599 is hotwheels, so their Elite version would be the best.

 

i have the elite...its very good, comes with removable storage as well

 

In a way, I think the elite one looks better than the super elite one, and cheaper. On the super elite one, hotwheels tried to add many additional features to make it more detail, and "high-end", but I think all these failed to refine its details...like the carbon fibre decal they placed in the interior, that looks unreal and the golf playing intruments in the back trunk are not shaped properly "but what to blame, hotwheels are not specialists in producing golf models..." with an engine which I feel is the same with a regular elite version.....I don't see a reason for a super elite other than the extra golf bag package at the back trunk...

 

Can you guys post pics of a Elite 599? I was gonna get one, but Hot Wheels usually sucks.

 

Here is a link to its pics http://www.idcow.com/hw2125.html However there is no alternative available for the 599, only hotwheels produces it, but in my opinion, the elite version of it really isn't bad, I am waiting for the polished surface version to be released, which is with the CS style rim sets, I've seen the preview pics, seem to be very cool!

That does look nice, it just needs tires that aren't so thick looking.

 

Well, such perfection you mentioned is impossible at the moment with original products, unless you change them by yourself, but bear in mind that if you change the tires, you got to change the rims together as well, there should be some gaps between the thiner tires and the original rims, because those rims are designed and built just to fit those thicker tires they produce. However self modification of the rims and tires is 100% possible, as seen from examples shown on other threads, some guys on this forum managed to put on a customed 360 CS style rims on their 599's, and of course, they have also given them thiner tires that fit. If you decide to do that, you need to get this customed rim set from somewhere. But whatever the case, personally, I am satisfied with an original 599 which would look the same as the one shown in the photo I previously posted, that one is a pre-production sample, I think it make sense for me to expect something more than that even...

 

I bought the 599 GTB Elitte in first times i like the model but some months ago i have changed the rims for 360CS is another car !!! much nicer

 

my friend has a 599 super elite. anyone want me to post pics?
