    Why does hotwheels fail so hard at making wheels look good on a model. The new F430 elites wheels look HUGE on the car, and the nose of the car looks like it's touching the ground.

    Maybe they're appealing to younger kids and the whole bling thing?

    And the 599 looks like it has 4x4 tires. Hot Wheels sucks.

    And the tires are awful, they need a good shine.

    I can tell you exactly why. It's because the entire Hot Wheels program is controlled by Mattel's marketing department, not the designers.

    I agree that Mattel never seems to get the rims and tire sizes correct. The didn't even correct the rims and tires on their Super Elite Series either.

    I had to correct rims and tires myself.
