Wow! I'm sure that they are nicely detailed, but seriously?! Are you really going to tell me, that as skilled modellers, we can't be expected to damage our own wheels in an authentic fashion? Man, I've been doing this for YEARS! Yicks, if this is how feeble we've become that we need someone to DAMAGE something for us...

You have my respect and more than a bit of envy. And ya, I've been doing this for awhile, but damaging wheels is just as easy as in real life, though in this case an Exacto blade and some sand paper is all that you need. Gouge carefully and sand any over-aggressive marks on the area that would be rubber and you've got it. That's it, in a nut shell, and then its only practice practice and more practice. Don't be afraid to try, though I'd stay away from damaging the rims as I'd expect that would take some real force in the real world. You'll enjoy it and you won't need a kidney belt like on the real thing!
