Buildup -- Step 15: Wheels & tires

This part is simple. Use a wire brush on a rotary tool like a Dremel to grind the chrome out of the beads on the wheels. Don't put holes in the tires (as the manual asks you to do) -- put them in the wheels instead, preferrably on the side that you won't be able to see when the wheels are installed on the truck. I've used the Ofna Monster Pirate blue foams inside the tires to help them to hold up to abuse without being bouncy and getting deformed over rough terrain.

Yes, you must use CA glue on the tires. Don't skip this step out of anxiety.
