Default Die-Cast model car parts

Is there somewhere you can but parts for 1:43 or 1:18 scale model cars?

Im looking for 'aftermarket' style wheels etc to build a replica of my own car from a Biante model.

believe it or not, there is a guy who buys the models just to part them out on ebay, for bits for dioramas and stuff.

he also builds custom models and sells them

GMP makes a lot of 1:18 accessories, like wheel sets, tools, hoists, dioramas, figurines, and even engines. Their quality and attention to detail is amazing, I myself have a few sets of their wheels, tool sets and a hoist. Still lotsa more stuff I wanna get.

Check their site
