I completely agree. I also don't like this kind of use because system parts are 8mm "thick", instead technic liftarms are a little thinner, so you see a micro non-complanarity on the surface and it looks "wrong".

I always felt funny about this as well, but I could never describe why I didn't like it. Thanks for giving me the words for what I could never articulate.

Wheels can change the look of a car so much! Please Lego re-introduce wheel covers.

Nice idea! Despite these rims looking overly detailed compared to the rest of the car. But yes having a variety of rims would be a good idea! 

And these special rims TLG is using for the car, especially in this color are super weird looking. Someone at Lego seems to think slamming the Fast'n'Furious batch on some random looking car will increase sales figures. And know what? they're right!:laugh:

I saw this cool comparison photo and the poor 42204's front looks like a Jack-o-lantern next to these other beauties

Will the Honda S2000 release a technic version? It's rare in the technic  to see its attractive colors

Hello! 

This is my alternative model of set 42204. It is inspired on Iveco Stralis.

The model features Hog steering, tiltable cab and fake engine.

I think the model will look a little better if you add the pulley wheels on front rims:

The instructions are on Rebrickable.com

This is my second alternative truck in 1:24 scale. The other one is 42161 Truck

I'm planning an alternative truck made from the 42205 Corvette too, once I'll buy the set. :sweet:
