Dont bother. Sell them on ebay and be done with them.

They are tiny little things.

As the Romans said (of their chariot wheels): De gustibus non disputandum. I liked them so much I bought the (oh, yeah) first cheap set I saw on the bay. Polish the tops of the "spokes" and paint black the sides of the spokes (spray from the inside does most of the job) and they look pretty good, and distinctive, too.

That's a great site, should definitely be filed for reference purposes. People tell me I have westerns, didn't realize there was more than one version....
