I'm not that familiar with all of the wheels available so I need a suggestion on rims.
The rims on it now are narrow front and wide rear with 0 offsets. It has room to go a little wider, maybe 1-2mm offset in back and 1mm offset up front.

nice, is that a model kit where you got the body from?

I found a kinda-local slot car shop. They run 1/24, 1/25, 1/32 scales, lexan and model kits. Two tracks and a drag strip.

I think the offset is ok, on the original the tires are tucked up under the body anyway. The length is ok to, you didn't cut it down did you? Good to see you doing customs again.

I think the offset is good too. I was more concerned about using other rims that look more like the Bat-Wheels. Maybe the rims from the Cobra but if their offset is more than 1mm they won't work.
The wheelbase is perfect for the RM. The body has undercuts around the whole thing. I can't figure how the pattern comes out unless it's in multiple pieces or made from rubber.

Maybe the Jota wheels. Or even your own custom wheels for it. Do the wheel nuts with the bat logos on them, the front will stay in place, and the rear will spin.
