I guess you shooting for something like this?
Diecast Cars, Hot Wheels, Matchbox

Yes, exactly... I love that look and yet still want to accomplish racing ability. I get what your explaining though. Got me 4 Hot Wheels just now.

1. HW City Honda S2000
2. 24/Seven Mazda RX-7
3. HW Racing Acura NSX
4. HW Showroom '10 Camaro SS- Can't have all JDM without some Muscle!

Camaro will be the first contestant to the chopping block. Set's a little high. I'll get some pictures up soon.

**Side Note: What's the FTE wheels look like?

Top is FTE1, bottom is FTE2. It is easier (and cheaper!) to find FTE2s.

Is FTE the Faster Than Ever wheels? I'm assuming FTE1 is the 2005-2006 and FTE2 is the 2009-2010?

Ok awesome. Guess I'll be raiding EvilBay and Amazon. Any other sites that I might want to check out? Not entirely sure I want to be spending a fortune on a car just for the wheels. But it all depends.

Look for the 'fantasy' type cars. Most collectors don'twant them so they are usually cheaper than say a 1969 Camaro or a Ferrari.

Below is a link to a list of 2005-2010 FTEs. At the bottom of the page is a link to 2011.
FYI: There were no FTEs 2007-2008.

Thanks for posting this video Carl! Very interesting, esoteric even No wonder the few cars I have from this series are so fast. I've seen those C.S. Hot wheels on sale at a local store before and pasted them up...never again!
